“…Conversely, processes that are known to be allosterically governed by c-di-GMP receptor proteins may also have transcriptional/translational c-di-GMP regulation. Examples of genes that encode biosynthetic operons that are regulated by c-di-GMP-binding transcription factors include the psl operon in P. aeruginosa via FleQ [4], the vps operon in V. cholerae via VpsT and VpsR [5,19,32], the xag operon in X. campestris via Clp [7,33], Bcam1330-Bcam1341 operon in Burkholderia cenocepacia via Bcam1349 [8] and E. coli curli [34–37]. Examples of processes that are regulated allosterically by c-di-GMP binding include cellulose synthesis via binding to BcsA [2,12,38,39] and BcsE in S. Typhimurium [40], alginate production via binding to Alg44 in P. aeruginosa [41,42] and cell adhesion via binding to both GcbC and LapD in P. fluorescens [43–45].…”
