Specificity of the cyclic GMP-bbmding activity and of a cyclic GMP-dependent cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase in Dictyostelium discoideum [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 1982 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 ...

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

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),

Guanylin peptides: cyclic GMP signaling mechanisms
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1999 Guanylate cyclases (GC) serve in two different signaling pathways involving cytosolic and membrane enzymes. Membrane GCs are receptors for guanylin and atriopeptin peptides, two families of cGMP-regulating peptides.

Nucleotides as Bacterial Second Messengers
Molecules, 2023 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).

Bacterial cyclic diguanylate signaling networks sense temperature
Nature Communications, 2021 Many bacteria use the second messenger cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) to control motility, biofilm production and virulence. Here, the authors identify a thermosensitive enzyme that synthesizes c-di-GMP and modulates temperature-dependent motility ...
