Structural studies of the periplasmic portion of the diguanylate cyclase CdgH from Vibrio cholerae

Abstract Cyclic diguanylate monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is a second messenger involved in bacterial signal transduction and produced by diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) generally containing highly variable periplasmic signal-recognition domains. CdgH is a DGC enzyme that regulates rugosity associated phenot...
