Redox control and mechanisms of transmembrane signaling in CSS domain c-di-GMP phosphodiesterases that control biofilm formation in Escherichia coli
ABSTRACT Bis-(3′,5′)-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) control of biofilm formation in Escherichia coli K-12 is balanced by multiple diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) and c-di-GMP-specific phosphodiesterases (PDEs). Five of the 13 PDEs feature a periplasmic CSS domain with two conserved cysteines, flanked by...
