Intro
Diguanylate cyclases
The condensation reaction 2 GTP -> c-di-GMP + 2 PPi is catalyzed by GGDEF domains that typically occur in combination with sensory or regulator domains. The structures of two diguanylate cyclases (PleD and WspR) have been determined, both being response regulators with a response regulator receiver (Rec) and a GGDEF output (effector) domain. Response regulators are activated through phosphorylation of a conserved aspartate by cognate histidine kinases.
