Controlling Biofilm Development Through Cyclic di-GMP Signaling. [PDF]
The cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) second messenger represents a signaling system that regulates many bacterial behaviors and is of key importance for driving the lifestyle switch between motile loner cells and biofilm formers. This review provides an up-to-date summary of c-di-GMP pathways connected to biofilm formation by the opportunistic pathogen P ...

High Levels of Cyclic Diguanylate Interfere with Beneficial Bacterial Colonization
During colonization of the Hawaiian bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes), Vibrio fischeri bacteria undergo a lifestyle transition from a planktonic motile state in the environment to a biofilm state in host mucus.

Activation of Gingival Fibroblasts by Bacterial Cyclic Dinucleotides and Lipopolysaccharide
Human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) recognize microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) and respond with inflammatory proteins. Simultaneous impacts of bacterial cyclic di-guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP), cyclic di-adenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP),

Nucleotides as Bacterial Second Messengers
In addition to comprising monomers of nucleic acids, nucleotides have signaling functions and act as second messengers in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The most common example is cyclic AMP (cAMP).

Detection of Cyclic di-GMP Binding Proteins Utilizing a Biotinylated Cyclic di-GMP Pull-Down Assay [PDF]
Cyclic di-GMP is an important regulatory messenger molecule that often directly interacts with proteins to alter function. It is therefore important to find potential c-di-GMP binding proteins and verify a direct interaction between them. Here, we describe a pull-down assay using biotinylated-c-di-GMP to capture a specific protein of interest followed ...

High levels of cyclic-di-GMP in plant-associated Pseudomonas correlate with evasion of plant immunity [PDF]
The plant innate immune system employs plasma membrane-localized receptors that specifically perceive pathogen/microbe-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs/MAMPs).
