Shigella flexneri Diguanylate Cyclases Regulate Virulence. [PDF]
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 ...

Intact and mutated Shigella diguanylate cyclases increase c-di-GMP. [PDF]
The intracellular human pathogen Shigella invades the colonic epithelium to cause disease. Prior to invasion, this bacterium navigates through different environments within the human body, including the stomach and the small intestine.

A fluorescence-based high-throughput screening method for determining the activity of diguanylate cyclases and c-di-GMP phosphodiesterases. [PDF]
The dinucleotide 3′,5′-cyclic diguanylic acid (c-di-GMP) is a critical second messenger found in bacteria. High cellular levels of c-di-GMP are associated with a sessile, biofilm lifestyle in many bacteria, which is associated with more than 70% of ...

Coiled-coil register transitions and coupling with the effector's inhibitory site enables high fold changes in blue light-regulated diguanylate cyclases. [PDF]
Cellular signaling cascades rely on transfer of information from one protein to another or within a single protein. To facilitate signal integration, specific structural motifs evolved that allow signal processing and also enable modular downstream ...
