Bacterial cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP) production is associated with biofilm development and the switch from acute to chronic infections. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the diguanylate cyclase (DGC) SiaD and phosphatase SiaA, which are co-transcribed as part of a siaABCD operon, are essential for cellular aggregation. However, the detailed functions of this operon and the relationships among its constituent genes are unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the siaABCD operon encodes for a signaling network that regulates SiaD enzymatic activity to control biofilm and aggregates formation. Through protein-protein interaction, SiaC promotes SiaD diguanylate cyclase activity. Biochemical and structural data revealed that SiaB is an unusual protein kinase that phosphorylates SiaC, whereas SiaA phosphatase can dephosphorylate SiaC. The phosphorylation state of SiaC is critical for its interaction with SiaD, which will switch on or off the DGC activity of SiaD and regulate c-di-GMP levels and subsequent virulence phenotypes. Collectively, our data provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the modulation of DGC activity associated with chronic infections, which may facilitate the development of antimicrobial drugs.

D006152 Cyclic GMP Guanosine cyclic 3',5'-(hydrogen phosphate). A guanine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to the sugar moiety in both the 3'- and 5'-positions. It is a cellular regulatory agent and has been described as a second messenger. Its levels increase in response to a variety of hormones, including acetylcholine, insulin, and oxytocin and it has been found to activate specific protein kinases.

D014774 Virulence The degree of pathogenicity within a group or species of microorganisms or viruses as indicated by case fatality rates and/or the ability of the organism to invade the tissues of the host. The pathogenic capacity of an organism is determined by its VIRULENCE FACTORS. Pathogenicity
D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
