Cyclic GMP System in Epidermis: II. Histamine Stimulates Cyclic GMP Formation
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1979 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 found to cause consistent activation of the cyclic GMP system. Epidermal slices incubated in Hank's

The HD-GYP Domain, Cyclic Di-GMP Signaling, and Bacterial Virulence to Plants
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2006 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

Nucleotide binding by the widespread high-affinity cyclic di-GMP receptor MshEN domain
Nature Communications, 2016 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

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.

Dual Regulatory Role Exerted by Cyclic Dimeric GMP To Control FsnR-Mediated Bacterial Swimming
mBio, 2022 Bacterial motility has great medical and ecological significance because of its essential role in bacterial survival and pathogenesis. Cyclic dimeric GMP (c-di-GMP), a second messenger in bacteria, is the predominant regulator of flagellar synthesis and ...

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.

mSystems, 2022 Modulation of the intracellular cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) pool is central to the formation of structured bacterial communities. Genome annotations predict the presence of dozens of conserved c-di-GMP catalytic enzymes in many bacterial species, but the ...

eLife, 2017 Activating mutations in fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor 3 and inactivating mutations in the NPR2 guanylyl cyclase both cause severe short stature, but how these two signaling systems interact to regulate bone growth is poorly understood. Here, we

Occurrence of Cyclic di-GMP-Modulating Output Domains in Cyanobacteria: an Illuminating Perspective
mBio, 2013 Microorganisms use a variety of metabolites to respond to external stimuli, including second messengers that amplify primary signals and elicit biochemical changes in a cell. Levels of the second messenger cyclic dimeric GMP (c-di-GMP) are regulated by a
