Abstract excerpt
GGDEF and EAL/HD-GYP protein domains are responsible for the synthesis and hydrolysis of the bacterial secondary messenger cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) through their diguanylate cyclase and phosphodiesterase activities, respectively. Forty-three genes in Pseudomonas putida KT2440 are putatively involved in the turnover of c-di-GMP. Of them only rup4959 (locus PP4959) encodes a GGDEF/EAL response regulator, which...
