CdgC, a Cyclic-di-GMP Diguanylate Cyclase of Azospirillum baldaniorum Is Involved in Internalization to Wheat Roots

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Azospirillum baldaniorum is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) capable of fixing nitrogen, the synthesis of several phytohormones including indole-acetic acid, and induction of plant defenses against phytopathogens.

Structural basis for activation of a diguanylate cyclase required for bacterial predation in Bdellovibrio [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2019
AbstractThe bacterial second messenger cyclic-di-GMP is a widespread, prominent effector of lifestyle change. An example of this occurs in the predatory bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus, which cycles between free-living and intraperiplasmic phases after entering (and killing) another bacterium.

In silico comparative analysis of GGDEF and EAL domain signaling proteins from the Azospirillum genomes

BMC Microbiology, 2018
Background The cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP) second messenger exemplifies a signaling system that regulates many bacterial behaviors of key importance; among them, c-di-GMP controls the transition between motile and sessile life-styles in bacteria. Cellular c-

Characterization of the Xylella fastidiosa PD1671 gene encoding degenerate c-di-GMP GGDEF/EAL domains, and its role in the development of Pierce's disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Xylella fastidiosa is an important phytopathogenic bacterium that causes many serious plant diseases including Pierce's disease of grapevines. X. fastidiosa is thought to induce disease by colonizing and clogging xylem vessels through the formation of ...

HmsB, a small RNA, enhances biofilm formation in Yersinia pestis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
The hmsHFRS operon is responsible for biosynthesis and translocation of biofilm matrix exopolysaccharide. Yersinia pestis expresses the two sole diguanylate cyclases HmsT and HmsD and the sole phosphodiesterase HmsP, which are specific for biosynthesis ...

A Cyclic Di-GMP Network Is Present in Gram-Positive Streptococcus and Gram-Negative Proteus Species

, 2020
Cyclic di-GMP is a ubiquitous second messenger in bacteria. This work describes the occurrence of a cyclic di-GMP signaling network in Gram-positive Streptococcus species and Gram-negative Proteus.

Diguanylate Cyclases Control Magnesium-Dependent Motility ofVibrio fischeri [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2006
ABSTRACTFlagellar biogenesis and hence motility ofVibrio fischeridepends upon the presence of magnesium. In the absence of magnesium, cells contain few or no flagella and are poorly motile or nonmotile. To dissect the mechanism by which this regulation occurs, we screened transposon insertion mutants for those that could migrate through soft agar ...
