Precise timing of transcription by c-di-GMP coordinates cell cycle and morphogenesis in Caulobacter

Bacteria adapt their growth rate to their metabolic status and environmental conditions by modulating the length of their G1 period. Here the authors show that an increase in c-di-GMP concentration modulates the activity of kinase ShkA and transcription factor TacA, thus enabling G1/S transition in...
