Novel cyclic di-GMP effectors of the YajQ protein family control bacterial virulence. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 Bis-(3',5') cyclic di-guanylate (cyclic di-GMP) is a key bacterial second messenger that is implicated in the regulation of many critical processes that include motility, biofilm formation and virulence. Cyclic di-GMP influences diverse functions through

Discovery of the Second Messenger Cyclic di-GMP [PDF]
, 2017 The nearly ubiquitous bacterial second messenger cyclic di-GMP is involved in a multitude of fundamental physiological processes such as sessility/motility transition and the switch between the acute and chronic infection status, combined with cell cycle control.

Chemiluminescent Biosensors for Detection of Second Messenger Cyclic di-GMP [PDF]
ACS Chemical Biology, 2018 Bacteria colonize highly diverse and complex environments, from gastrointestinal tracts to soil and plant surfaces. This colonization process is controlled in part by the intracellular signal cyclic di-GMP, which regulates bacterial motility and biofilm formation.

Cyclic di-GMP signalling and the regulation of bacterial virulence
Microbiology, 2013 Signal transduction pathways involving the second messenger cyclic di-GMP [bis-(3'-5')-cyclic di-guanosine monophosphate] occur widely in bacteria where they act to link perception of environmental or intracellular cues and signals to specific alterations in cellular function. Such alterations can contribute to bacterial lifestyle transitions including

Mechanisms of cyclic-di-GMP signaling : insight into the biochemistry, signal transduction and regulation of the bacterial second messenger cyclic-di-GMP [PDF]
, 2007 Bacteria are able to switch between two mutually exclusive lifestyles, motile single cells and sedentary multicellular communities that colonize surfaces. These behavioral changes contribute to an increased fitness in structured environments and are controlled by the ubiquitous bacterial second messenger c-di-GMP.

Crystal structure and functional implication of bacterial STING
Nature Communications, 2022 The bacterial Cyclic-oligonucleotide-Based Anti-phage Signaling System (CBASS) contains a CD-NTase that synthesizes cyclic di- and tri-nucleotides, and bacterial STING proteins recognize c-di-GMP generated by CD-NTase during phage infection and signal ...

High Levels of Cyclic Diguanylate Interfere with Beneficial Bacterial Colonization
mBio, 2022 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
Pathogens, 2020 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),

Diversity of Cyclic Di-GMP-Binding Proteins and Mechanisms [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2016 ABSTRACT Cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) synthetases and hydrolases (GGDEF, EAL, and HD-GYP domains) can be readily identified in bacterial genome sequences by using standard bioinformatic tools. In contrast, identification of c-di-GMP receptors remains a difficult task, and the current list of experimentally characterized c-di-GMP-binding proteins ...
