Functional diversity of c-di-GMP receptors in prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems
Cyclic bis-(3', 5')-dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is ubiquitous in many bacterial species, where it functions as a nucleotide-based secondary messenger and is a vital regulator of numerous biological processes.

Occurrence of Cyclic di-GMP-Modulating Output Domains in Cyanobacteria: an Illuminating Perspective
Microorganisms use a variety of metabolites to respond to external stimuli, including second messengers that amplify primary signals and elicit biochemical changes in a cell. Levels of the second messenger cyclic dimeric GMP (c-di-GMP) are regulated by a

c-di-GMP modulates type IV MSHA pilus retraction and surface attachment in Vibrio cholerae. [PDF]
Biofilm formation by Vibrio cholerae facilitates environmental persistence, and hyperinfectivity within the host. Biofilm formation is regulated by 3',5'-cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) and requires production of the type IV mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin

Pleiotropic Effects of c-di-GMP Content in Pseudomonas syringae [PDF]
The present work comprehensively analyzed the transcriptome and phenotypes that were regulated by c-di-GMP in P. syringae . Given that the majority of diguanylate cyclases and phosphodiesterases have not been characterized in P.

Responses to elevated c-di-GMP levels in mutualistic and pathogenic plant-interacting bacteria. [PDF]
Despite a recent burst of research, knowledge on c-di-GMP signaling pathways remains largely fragmentary and molecular mechanisms of regulation and even c-di-GMP targets are yet unknown for most bacteria.

Flagellar stators stimulate c-di-GMP production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
AbstractFlagellar motility is critical for surface attachment and biofilm formation in many bacteria. A key regulator of flagellar motility in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other microbes is cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP). High levels of this second messenger repress motility and stimulate biofilm formation.

Gas and light: triggers of c-di-GMP-mediated regulation
AbstractThe widespread bacterial second messenger c-di-GMP is responsible for regulating many important physiological functions such as biofilm formation, motility, cell differentiation, and virulence. The synthesis and degradation of c-di-GMP in bacterial cells depend, respectively, on diguanylate cyclases and c-di-GMP-specific phosphodiesterases ...

Streptomyces are ubiquitous soil bacteria that undergo a complex developmental transition coinciding with their production of antibiotics. This transition is controlled by binding of a novel tetrameric form of the second messenger, 3΄-5΄ cyclic diguanylic acid (c-di-GMP) to the master repressor, BldD.
