Engineered Diguanylate Cyclase
This diguanylate cyclase from Agrobacterium vitis has been engineered to remove phosphodiesterase activity, allowing for production of cyclic-diGMP from guanosine triphosphate (GTP) without the production of 5’-phosphoguanylyl-(3’,5’)-guanosine (pGpG).
Highlights:
- Useful for producing cyclic-diGMP from GTP without production of pGpG
- Completely lacks unwanted phosphodiesterase activity
- No product inhibition even at high concentrations of GTP
- Remains active while immobilized to solid resin and retain enzymatic activity after several months of storage
- Can be used to synthesize radiolabeled cyclic diGMP from radiolabeled GTP
- See Also: Cyclic Diguanosine Monophosphate (c-di-GMP)
Cyclic-diGMP is a second messenger used in signal transduction in bacteria, important in studies of bacterial virulence, bacterial infectiousness, pathogenesis, vaccine adjuvants (potentially in MRSA vaccines), innate immunity response, bacterial biofilm formation, bacterial cell-cell interactions, and bacterial cell adhesion. Biological activity regulated by cyclic-diGMP is mediated through binding to many different receptors. Additionally, it has been more recently shown that cyclic-diGMP induces the production of type I interferons in a STING or DDX41 dependent manner in the mammalian innate immune system.
