Bacterial second messengers are important for regulating diverse bacterial lifestyles. Cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is produced by diguanylate cyclase enzymes, named GGDEF proteins, which are widespread across bacteria.

Dual-function enzyme acts as a global c-di-GMP sink and local anti sigma factor antagonist to drive cellular differentiation. [PDF]
Soil bacteria of the genus Streptomyces are natural producers of over two-thirds of clinically used antibiotics. Their ability to generate these valuable metabolites is tightly linked to a developmental program involving the transition from vegetative ...

In silico comparative analysis of GGDEF and EAL domain signaling proteins from the Azospirillum genomes [PDF]
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-

GGDEF-EAL domain proteins in bacterial physiology
GGDEF and EAL domain proteins were identified in the chromosome of many bacteria. GGDEF domain proteins are generally diguanyl cyclases which synthesize the secondary messenger cyclic di-GMP. EAL domain proteins are generally c-di-GMP specific phosphodiesterase which degrade c-di-GMP.

Systematic Nomenclature for GGDEF and EAL Domain-Containing Cyclic Di-GMP Turnover Proteins of Escherichia coli [PDF]
ABSTRACT In recent years, Escherichia coli has served as one of a few model bacterial species for studying cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) signaling. The widely used E. coli K-12 laboratory strains possess 29 genes encoding proteins with GGDEF and/or EAL domains, which include 12 ...

RpfG is a member of a class of wide spread bacterial two-component regulators with an HD-GYP cyclic di-GMP phosphodiesterase domain. In the plant pathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc), RpfG together with the sensor kinase RpfC regulates the synthesis of a range of virulence factors as a response to the cell-cell Diffusible Signaling ...

A systematic analysis of the role of GGDEF-EAL domain proteins in virulence and motility in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola [PDF]
AbstractThe second messenger c-di-GMP is implicated in regulation of various aspects of the lifestyles and virulence of Gram-negative bacteria. Cyclic di-GMP is formed by diguanylate cyclases with a GGDEF domain and degraded by phosphodiesterases with either an EAL or HD-GYP domain.

Domain architecture of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis MabR (Rv2242), a member of the PucR transcription factor family [PDF]
MabR (Rv2242), a PucR-type transcription factor, plays a crucial role in regulating mycolic acid biosynthesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. To understand its regulatory mechanisms, we determined the crystal structures of its N-terminal and C-terminal ...
