Abstract excerpt
StmF mutants are chemotactic mutants that are defective in a cGMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity. We identified a novel gene, PdeD, that harbors two cyclic nucleotide-binding domains and a metallo-beta-lactamase homology domain. Similar to stmF mutants, pdeD-null mutants displayed extensively streaming aggregates, prolonged elevation of cGMP levels after chemotactic stimulation, and reduced cGMP-PDE activity....
