Ancient conserved domains shared by animal soluble guanylyl cyclases and bacterial signaling proteins

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Soluble guanylyl cyclases (SGCs) are dimeric enzymes that transduce signals downstream of nitric oxide (NO) in animals. They sense NO by means of a heme moiety that is bound to their N-terminal extensions.</p> <p>Results&...
