malfunction | the CdgD deletion mutant shows significant alteration in the biofilm formation compared to wild-type. Deletion of cdgD causes an increase in motility | Vibrio cholerae |
physiological function | diguanylate cyclases in Vibrio cholerae are essential regulators of lifestyle switching, importance of DGCs and their product, cyclic-di-GMP, in the virulence and lifecycle of the bacteria. Biofilm formation in Vibrio cholerae empowers the bacteria to lead a dual lifestyle and enhances its infectivity. While the formation and dispersal of the biofilm involves multiple components, both proteinaceous and non-proteinaceous, the key to the regulatory control lies with the ubiquitous secondary signaling molecule, cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP). Enzyme CdgD has a GGDEF domain along with a sensory PAS domain. It is a diguanylate cyclase | Vibrio cholerae |
