NMR Solution Structure of the N‐Terminal GSPII Domain from the Thermus Thermophilus Traffic ATPase PilF and Reconstruction of its c‐di‐GMP Binding Capability

ChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 7, April 1, 2025.
GSPII‐A is the first of three consecutive GSPII domains of PilF from Thermus thermophilus and the only one that does not bind c‐di‐GMP. In this study we solve the structure of GSPII‐A and show the key factors hindering c‐di‐GMP binding. Through mutagenesis, we elucidate the minimal motif conservation needed for c‐di‐GMP recognition. Abstract The cyclic
