The HD-GYP Domain, Cyclic Di-GMP Signaling, and Bacterial Virulence to Plants
Cyclic di-GMP is an almost ubiquitous second messenger in bacteria that was first described as an allosteric activator of cellulose synthase but is now known to regulate a range of functions, including virulence in human and animal pathogens. Two protein

To Move or Not to Move: When and How Bacteria Suppress Flagellar Motility. [PDF]
Motility cessation in bacteria is a key regulatory strategy that provides multiple survival advantages including enhanced community cooperation, niche adaptation and evasion of host immune responses. This process is controlled by associated mechanisms such as post‐translational modifications and second messenger signalling that stabilise non‐motile ...

Genetic mapping of loci associated with yield and their components in black common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). [PDF]
Abstract The increase in world population linked to climate change leads to the need to develop more productive and more adapted cultivars of food species. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) mapping is a useful tool although, interaction between genotype and the environment is still a challenge.

Proteomic Analysis of Three Independent Series of Sequential Cystic Fibrosis Strains in an International Pseudomonas aeruginosa Reference Panel Indicates Positive Selection in Late Infection Strains. [PDF]
Comparison of proteomes from three series of sequential Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from people with cystic fibrosis identified eleven proteins with increased abundance in at least one late isolate per patient. Three proteins were increased in all five late isolates, and the probability of this occurring by chance is 5.06 × 10−53, indicating strong

Virulence Regulation and Lifestyle Transitions: The Role of c-di-GMP and Two-Component Systems in Erwinia amylovora and Their Evolutionary Context Within Enterobacterales. [PDF]
Erwinia amylovora infects apple blossoms by activating the T3SS, then spreads systemically via amylovoran‐mediated biofilms. Transitions between motile and sessile states are regulated by key two‐component systems and c‐di‐GMP. This review summarises infection biology, virulence factors, regulatory networks and evolutionary insights underlying fire ...

A systematic analysis of the in vitro and in vivo functions of the HD-GYP domain proteins of Vibrio cholerae. [PDF]
Background The second messenger cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) plays a central role in bacterial adaptation to extracellular stimuli, controlling processes such as motility, biofilm development, cell development and, in some pathogens, virulence.

Gas-Selective Catalytic Regulation by a Newly Identified Globin-Coupled Sensor Phosphodiesterase Containing an HD-GYP Domain from the Human Pathogen Vibrio fluvialis. [PDF]
Globin-coupled sensors constitute an important family of heme-based gas sensors, an emerging class of heme proteins. In this study, we have identified and characterized a globin-coupled sensor phosphodiesterase containing an HD-GYP domain (GCS-HD-GYP ...
