This domain is found linked to a wide range of non-homologous domains in a variety of bacteria. It has been shown to be homologous to the adenylyl cyclase catalytic domain [1] and has diguanylate cyclase activity [4]. This observation correlates with the functional information available on two GGDEF-containing proteins, namely diguanylate cyclase and phosphodiesterase A of Acetobacter xylinum, both of which regulate the turnover of cyclic diguanosine monophosphate. In the WspR protein of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the GGDEF domain acts as a diguanylate cyclase, PDB:3bre, when the whole molecule appears to form a tetramer consisting of two symmetrically-related dimers representing a biological unit. The active site is the GGD/EF motif, buried in the structure, and the cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) bind to the inhibitory-motif RxxD on the surface. The enzyme thus catalyses the cyclisation of two guanosine triphosphate (GTP) molecules to one c-di-GMP molecule [6,7,8].
This entry represents the SiaC family regulatory phosphoprotein which undergoes a regulatory phosphorylation at Thr-68 of founder protein PA0170 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but in more distant homologs, T can be S. Also, it is part of motif NTSS, so ...
This entry represents the SiaC family regulatory phosphoprotein which undergoes a regulatory phosphorylation at Thr-68 of founder protein PA0170 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but in more distant homologs, T can be S. Also, it is part of motif NTSS, so may contain more than one phosphorylation site. Phosphorylation causes regulatory change to protein-protein interaction, in a pathway that seems broadly distributed, involves a diguanylate cyclase, and in the case of Pseudomonas aeruginosa affects aggregation and biofilm formation responses.
