Bi-modal distribution of the second messenger c-di-GMP controls cell fate and asymmetry during the caulobacter cell cycle [PDF]
, 2013 Many bacteria mediate important life-style decisions by varying levels of the second messenger c-di-GMP. Behavioral transitions result from the coordination of complex cellular processes such as motility, surface adherence or the production of virulence ...

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).

The regulation of alginate biosynthesis via cyclic di-GMP signaling
, 2020 Bacterial alginates are anionic exopolysaccharides, which are produced by Pseudomonas and Azotobacter species. Bacterial cells embedded in extracellular polymeric substances such as alginates have a survival advantage as they are protected against ...

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 ...
