c-di-GMP | feedback inhibition of DGC enzyme GcbC, modelling. In the crystal structure, two molecules of c-di-GMP are found to be bound between the primary and secondary I-sites of this inactive dimer. Three more residues are found to coordinate the formation of the I-site pocket where residue R363 of each monomer of GcbC forms a polar contact with residues E360 and E429 of the other GcbC monomer within the dimer complex of this protein | Pseudomonas fluorescens | |
additional information | GcbC has a primary inhibitory site with the previously characterized RXXD motif. The RXXD motif is found at residues R410 to D413 of GcbC. Residue R409 also makes contact with a c-di-GMP molecule. In addition to the primary I-site, GcbC also contains a secondary I-site at position R366 that completes GcbC's regulatory c-di-GMP binding site. The autoinhibitory site (I-site) of a diguanylate cyclase is a necessary element for interaction and signaling with an effector protein | Pseudomonas fluorescens |

malfunction | mutation of residues at the I-site of a DGC disrupts the interaction with its target receptor. By creating various substitutions to a DGC's I-site, it is shown that signaling between a DGC (GcbC) and its target protein (LapD) is a combined function of the I-site-dependent protein-protein interaction and the level of c-di-GMP production. Disruption of the I-site of GcbC leads to deregulation of c-di-GMP production, an increase in the c-di-GMP level and a concomitant increase in c-di-GMP-regulated processes | Pseudomonas fluorescens |
additional information | the autoinhibitory I-site of a diguanylate cyclase is a necessary element for interaction and signaling with an effector protein | Pseudomonas fluorescens |
physiological function | many bacteria contain large cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) signaling networks made of diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) and phosphodiesterases that can direct cellular activities sensitive to c-di-GMP levels. While DGCs synthesize c-di-GMP, many DGCs also contain an autoinhibitory site (I-site) that binds c-di-GMP to halt excess production of this small molecule, thus controlling the amount of c-di-GMP available to bind to target proteins in the cell. Signaling between a DGC (GcbC) and its target protein (LapD) is a combined function of the I-site-dependent protein-protein interaction and the level of c-di-GMP production. The dual role of the I-site in modulating DGC activity as well as participating in protein-protein interactions suggests caution in interpreting the function of the I-site as only a means to negatively regulate a cyclase. These results implicate the I-site as an important positive and negative regulatory element of DGCs that may contribute to signaling specificity. Signaling specificity in Pseudomonas fluorescens is achieved by physical interaction is the regulation of biofilm formation by the inner membrane proteins GcbC and LapD. GcbC is a DGC that signals to the effector LapD. When bound to c-di-GMP, LapD changes conformation to sequester a periplasmic protease called LapG, thus allowing the large adhesin LapA to accumulate on the cell surface and thereby promoting biofilm formation | Pseudomonas fluorescens |
