c-di-GMP-related phenotypes are modulated by the interaction between a diguanylate cyclase and a polar hub protein. [PDF]
c-di-GMP is a major player in the switch between bioflm and motile lifestyles. Several bacteria exhibit a large number of c-di-GMP metabolizing proteins, thus a fne-tuning of this nucleotide levels may occur.

Activation and polar sequestration of PopA, a c-di-GMP effector protein involved in Caulobacter crescentus cell cycle control [PDF]
When Caulobacter crescentus enters S-phase the replication initiation inhibitor CtrA dynamically positions to the old cell pole to be degraded by the polar ClpXP protease.

Specialized and shared functions of diguanylate cyclases and phosphodiesterases in Streptomyces development [PDF]
Abstract Levels of the second messenger bis-3’-5’-cyclic di-guanosinemonophosphate (c-di-GMP) determine when Streptomyces initiate sporulation to survive under adverse conditions. c-di-GMP signals are integrated into the genetic differentiation network by the regulator BldD and the ...

A novel c-di-GMP signal system regulates biofilm formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
The bacterial second messenger cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP) controls biofilm formation and other phenotypes relevant to pathogenesis. The human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa encodes 17 diguanylate cyclase (DGCs) proteins which are required for c-di-GMP ...

Structural elucidation of the multidomain response regulator PleD using X-ray crystallography [PDF]
c-diGMP (bis-(3!5)-cyclic di-guanosine monophosphate) is used extensively in bacteria to control biofilm formation and is lately postulated as a novel secondary messenger.

Investigating the allosteric regulation of YfiN from Pseudomonas aeruginosa: clues from the structure of the catalytic domain. [PDF]
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is responsible for a plethora of biofilm mediated chronic infections among which cystic fibrosis pneumonia is the most frightening. The long-term survival strategy of P.

The YfiBNR signal transduction mechanism reveals novel targets for the evolution of persistent Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis airways [PDF]
The genetic adaptation of pathogens in host tissue plays a key role in the establishment of chronic infections. While whole genome sequencing has opened up the analysis of genetic changes occurring during long-term infections, the identification and ...

Cyanobacteriochrome SesA is a diguanylate cyclase that induces cell aggregation in Thermosynechococcus. [PDF]
Cyanobacteria have unique photoreceptors, cyanobacteriochromes, that show diverse spectral properties to sense near-UV/visible lights. Certain cyanobacteriochromes have been shown to regulate cellular phototaxis or chromatic acclimation of photosynthetic pigments.

Determinants for the Activation and Autoinhibition of the Diguanylate Cyclase Response Regulator WspR [PDF]
The bacterial second messenger bis-(3'-5')-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) controls secretion, cell adhesion, and motility, leading to biofilm formation and increased cytotoxicity. Diguanylate cyclases containing GGDEF and phosphodiesterases containing EAL or HD-GYP domains have been identified as the enzymes controlling cellular c-di-
