Multilimbed membrane guanylate cyclase signaling system, evolutionary ladder

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2023
One monumental discovery in the field of cell biology is the establishment of the membrane guanylate cyclase signal transduction system. Decoding its fundamental, molecular, biochemical, and genetic features revolutionized the processes of developing ...

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

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

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.

Dephosphorylation of the NPR2 guanylyl cyclase contributes to inhibition of bone growth by fibroblast growth factor

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

Identification of Cyclic-di-GMP-Modulating Protein Residues by Bidirectionally Evolving a Social Behavior in Pseudomonas fluorescens

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 ...

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...
