Abstract excerpt
The Pseudomonas aeruginosa Wsp signal transduction system produces cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP), an intracellular messenger that stimulates biofilm formation and suppresses motility. The Wsp system is homologous to chemotaxis systems and includes a membrane-bound receptor protein, WspA, and a response regulator GGDEF protein, WspR, that catalyses c-di-GMP synthesis when phosphorylated. We found that the subcellular...
