A c-di-GMP effector system controls cell adhesion by inside-out signaling and surface protein cleavage.

A c-di-GMP effector system controls cell adhesion by inside-out signaling and surface protein cleavage.

In Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1 the availability of inorganic phosphate (Pi) is an environmental signal that controls biofilm formation through a cyclic dimeric GMP (c-di-GMP) signaling pathway. In low Pi conditions, a c-di-GMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) RapA is expressed, depleting cellular c-di-GMP...
