Cyclic GMP and Cilia Motility [PDF]
Motile cilia of the lungs respond to environmental challenges by increasing their ciliary beat frequency in order to enhance mucociliary clearance as a fundamental tenant of innate defense.

Within the last 60 years, microbiological research has challenged many dogmas such as bacteria being unicellular microorganisms directed by nutrient sources; these investigations produced new dogmas such as cyclic diguanylate monophosphate (cyclic di-GMP)

Autoinducer-2 and bile salts induce c-di-GMP synthesis to repress the T3SS via a T3SS chaperone
Cyclic-di-GMP transduces extracellular stimuli into intracellular responses to modulate important biological processes. Here, the authors show that AI-2 and bile salts induce cyclic-di-GMP synthesis via YeaJ and YedQ, respectively, to repress the T3SS ...

Specificity of the cyclic GMP-bbmding activity and of a cyclic GMP-dependent cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase in Dictyostelium discoideum [PDF]
The nucleotide specificity of the cyclic GMP-binding activity in a homogenate of Dictyostelium discoideum was determined by competition of cyclic GMP derivatives with [8-3H]-cyclic GMP for the binding sites. The results indicate that cyclic GMP is bound to the binding proteins by hydrogen bonds at N2H2, N1-H and/or C6 = O, N7, 2(1)-OH and 3(1)-O and ...

Crystal structure and functional implication of bacterial STING
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 ...

Dickeya dadantii is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes soft rot diseases in a variety of plants. This pathogen secretes pectate lyase (Pel) enzymes to degrade the plant cell wall, a process controlled by the bacterial second messenger cyclic ...

RsmA regulates biofilm formation in Xanthomonas campestris through a regulatory network involving cyclic di-GMP and the Clp transcription factor. [PDF]
Biofilm formation and dispersal in the black rot pathogen Xanthomonas campestris pathovar campestris (Xcc) is influenced by a number of factors. The extracellular mannanase ManA has been implicated in biofilm dispersal whereas biofilm formation requires ...

Novel cyclic di-GMP effectors of the YajQ protein family control bacterial virulence.
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
