Gas and light: triggers of c-di-GMP-mediated regulation

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2023
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 ...

CRP-Like Transcriptional Regulator MrpC Curbs c-di-GMP and 3′,3′-cGAMP Nucleotide Levels during Development in Myxococcus xanthus

open access: yesmBio, 2022
Myxococcus xanthus has a nutrient-regulated biphasic life cycle forming predatory swarms in the presence of nutrients and spore-filled fruiting bodies in the absence of nutrients.

AmrZ is a major determinant of c-di-GMP levels in Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The transcriptional regulator AmrZ is a global regulatory protein conserved within the pseudomonads. AmrZ can act both as a positive and a negative regulator of gene expression, controlling many genes implicated in environmental adaption.

The Streptomyces master regulator BldD binds c-di-GMP sequentially to create a functional BldD2-(c-di-GMP)4 complex

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2017
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.

Dimerisation induced formation of the active site and the identification of three metal sites in EAL-phosphodiesterases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The bacterial second messenger cyclic di-3′,5′-guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is a key regulator of bacterial motility and virulence. As high levels of c-di-GMP are associated with the biofilm lifestyle, c-di-GMP hydrolysing phosphodiesterases (PDEs)

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...
