The HD-GYP Domain, Cyclic Di-GMP Signaling, and Bacterial Virulence to Plants
Cyclic di-GMP is an almost ubiquitous second messenger in bacteria that was first described as an allosteric activator of cellulose synthase but is now known to regulate a range of functions, including virulence in human and animal pathogens. Two protein

Regulation of gingival epithelial cytokine response by bacterial cyclic dinucleotides
Background: Cyclic dinucleotides (cyclic di-guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) and cyclic di-adenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP)) and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs).

Extraction and Quantification of Cyclic Di-GMP from Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) has emerged as an important intracellular signaling molecule, controlling the transitions between planktonic (free-living) and sessile lifestyles, biofilm formation, and virulence in a wide variety of microorganisms.

Identification of the YfgF MASE1 domain as a modulator of bacterial responses to aspartate [PDF]
Complex 3'-5'-cyclic diguanylic acid (c-di-GMP) responsive regulatory networks that are modulated by the action of multiple diguanylate cyclases (DGC; GGDEF domain proteins) and phosphodiesterases (PDE; EAL domain proteins) have evolved in many bacteria.

A cyclic‐di‐GMP receptor required for bacterial exopolysaccharide production [PDF]
SummaryBis‐(3′,5′)‐cyclic‐dimeric‐guanosine monophosphate (c‐di‐GMP) has been shown to be a global regulatory molecule that modulates the reciprocal responses of bacteria to activate either virulence pathways or biofilm formation. The mechanism of c‐di‐GMP signal transduction, including recognition of c‐di‐GMP and subsequent phenotypic regulation ...

Cellular levels and binding of c-di-GMP control subcellular localization and activity of the Vibrio cholerae transcriptional regulator VpsT. [PDF]
The second messenger, cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP), regulates diverse cellular processes in bacteria. C-di-GMP is produced by diguanylate cyclases (DGCs), degraded by phosphodiesterases (PDEs), and receptors couple c-di-GMP production to cellular ...

Cyclic di-GMP mediates a histidine kinase/phosphatase switch by noncovalent domain cross-linking [PDF]
Histidine kinases are key components of regulatory networks in bacteria. Although many of these enzymes are bifunctional, mediating both phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of downstream targets, the molecular details of this central regulatory switch ...

Nucleotide binding by the widespread high-affinity cyclic di-GMP receptor MshEN domain
Cyclic-di-GMP is a bacterial second messenger that binds to the regulatory domain of ATPases of some bacteria. Here, the authors report the crystal structure of this interaction, identify a cyclic-di-GMP binding mode, and show that this interaction might
