Structure of the Active GGEEF Domain of a Diguanylate Cyclase From Vibrio cholerae

open access: yesBiochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2020
Cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP) synthesized by diguanylate cyclases has been an important and ubiquitous secondary messenger in almost all bacterial systems. In Vibrio cholerae, c-di-GMP plays an intricate role in the production of the exopolysaccharide matrix,

Determining Diguanylate Cyclase Activity (Radioactive Assay)

Methods in Molecular Biology, 2017
Bioinformatics approaches can identify sequence motifs associated with diguanylate cyclases (DGCs), but experimental demonstration of DGC enzymatic activity is often desired. This protocol describes a sensitive radioactive assay for DGC activity in which substrate and product are quickly and easily separated by thin-layer chromatography.

Shigella flexneri Diguanylate Cyclases Regulate Virulence

Journal of Bacteriology, 2021
The intracellular human pathogen Shigella causes dysentery, resulting in as many as one million deaths per year. Currently, there is no approved vaccine for the prevention of shigellosis, and the incidence of antimicrobial resistance among Shigella species is on the rise.

Characterization of a diguanylate cyclase from Shewanella woodyi with cyclase and phosphodiesterase activities

Molecular BioSystems, 2010
Abstract Cyclic-di-GMP signaling is used by many bacteria to control biofilm formation. As biofilm formation is an important survival strategy for many bacteria, the synthesis and degradation of cyclic-di-GMP is tightly regulated by enzymes containing domains with conserved GGDEF and EAL sequence motifs, respectively.

Expression, Purification and Characterization of Diguanylate Cyclase From Rhodococcus ruber

Protein Expression and Purification, 2019
Diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) were responsible for the synthesis of second messenger cyclic di-guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP), which were involved in various physiological activities of bacterial species. Here, a full-length DGC from Rhodococcus ruber SD3 fused with glutathione-S-transferase (GST) was expressed in E.

Structural characterization of a putative diguanylate cyclase conserved in hyperthermophiles

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2019
C-di-GMP, bis-(3'-5')-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate, is a key signaling molecule that regulates many important physiological processes in bacteria. C-di-GMP is synthesized by diguanylate cyclase (DGC) containing the homodimeric GGDEF domain. There are many uncharacterized hypothetical proteins annotated as a putative DGC in bacteria including ...

Diguanylate Cyclase Activity of the Mycobacterium leprae T Cell Antigen ML1419c

open access: yesMicrobiology (United Kingdom), 2016
The second messenger, bis-(3',5')-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (cyclic di-GMP), is involved in the control of multiple bacterial phenotypes, including those that impact host-pathogen interactions. Bioinformatics analyses predicted that Mycobacterium leprae, an obligate intracellular bacterium and the causative agent of leprosy, encodes three ...

Enzymatic Synthesis of c-Di-GMP Using a Thermophilic Diguanylate Cyclase

Analytical Biochemistry, 2009
The cyclic dinucleotide c-di-GMP is a widespread bacterial messenger molecule with potential application as a therapeutic agent for treating bacterial infection. Current enzymatic synthesis of c-di-GMP using mesophilic diguanylate cyclase (DGC) proteins suffers from low production yield due to protein instability and strong product inhibition.

In Vitro Measurement of Gas-Dependent and Redox-Sensitive Diguanylate Cyclase Activity

2023
Bacteria sense and respond to gaseous ligand changes in the environment to regulate a multitude of behaviors, including the production of the secondary messengers cyclic di-GMP. Gas sensing can be difficult to measure due to the high concentration of the oxygen in the atmosphere, particularly in redox-sensitive systems.
