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

Specificity of the Cyclic GMP-Binding 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.

Cyclic GMP and PKG Signaling in Heart Failure [PDF]
Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), produced by guanylate cyclase (GC), activates protein kinase G (PKG) and regulates cardiac remodeling. cGMP/PKG signal is activated by two intrinsic pathways: nitric oxide (NO)-soluble GC and natriuretic peptide (NP)

Cyclic di-GMP: second messenger extraordinaire [PDF]
Cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) are highly versatile signalling molecules that control various important biological processes in bacteria. The best-studied example is cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP).

Cyclic GMP System in Epidermis: II. Histamine Stimulates Cyclic GMP Formation
In search of hormones and drugs which might elevate the intracellular level of cyclic GMP in pig epidermis, we have tested the effects of carbachol, concanavalin A, prostaglandin F2α, insulin, epinephrine, Vitamin A acid and histamine. Only histamine was

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 ...

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 ...
