Allosteric control of cyclic di-GMP signaling [PDF]
Cyclic di-guanosine monophosphate is a bacterial second messenger that has been implicated in biofilm formation, antibiotic resistance, and persistence of pathogenic bacteria in their animal host.

Database mining using principal component analysis (PCA)‐based clustering enabled discovery of bacterial enzymes capable of catalyzing stereodivergent cyclopropanation of styrene. Statistical analyses of sequence data further revealed characteristic structural properties of these enzymes, highlighting the potential of the bioinformatics tools for ...

We report optimization of the Treponema denticola shuttle plasmid system by minimizing its size and by characterizing an array of promoter‐gene constructs for genetic complementation, including the first use in Treponema of a Tet‐inducible system for controlled expression of potentially toxic genes.

Characterization of Mycobacterium leprae diguanylate cyclases
Mycobacterium leprae is the causative agent of leprosy, which is still a major health problem in several developing countries. Management of leprosy has been challenging because of the long incubation period of the disease and the development of a spectrum of clinical manifestations.

ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq reveal an AmrZ-mediated mechanism for cyclic di-GMP synthesis and biofilm development by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [PDF]
The transcription factor AmrZ regulates genes important for P. aeruginosa virulence, including type IV pili, extracellular polysaccharides, and the flagellum; however, the global effect of AmrZ on gene expression remains unknown, and therefore, AmrZ may ...

Numerous studies have reported biofilm formation impairment in Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates, however, the genetic basis of this phenomenon remains largely unexplored. In this study, we aimed to identify associations between impaired‐biofilm formation and loss‐of‐function mutations in biofilm regulatory and effector genes.

The cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) second messenger represents a signaling system that regulates many bacterial behaviors and is of key importance for driving the lifestyle switch between motile loner cells and biofilm formers.
