Protein Family Models

Double cache domain 1 covers the last three strands from the membrane distal PAS-like domain, the first two strands of the membrane proximal domain, and the connecting elements between the two domains [2]. This domain when present in chemoreceptors recognise several signals such as proteinogenic amino acids, GABA, Histamine and polyamines, decanoic acid, Autoinducer-2, purine derivatives, quaternary amines, citrate and taurine, among others. When associated with histidine kinases, it recognises C3/C4-dicarboxylic acids, Spermine, guanosine and Autoinducer-2 (Mantilla et al., FEMS Microbiology Reviews, fuab043, 45, 2021, 1 https://doi.org/10.1093/femsre/fuab043).

This domain is found linked to a wide range of non-homologous domains in a variety of bacteria. It has been shown to be homologous to the adenylyl cyclase catalytic domain [1] and has diguanylate cyclase activity [4]. This observation correlates with the functional information available on two GGDEF-containing proteins, namely diguanylate cyclase and phosphodiesterase A of Acetobacter xylinum, both of which regulate the turnover of cyclic diguanosine monophosphate. In the WspR protein of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the GGDEF domain acts as a diguanylate cyclase, PDB:3bre, when the whole molecule appears to form a tetramer consisting of two symmetrically-related dimers representing a biological unit. The active site is the GGD/EF motif, buried in the structure, and the cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) bind to the inhibitory-motif RxxD on the surface. The enzyme thus catalyses the cyclisation of two guanosine triphosphate (GTP) molecules to one c-di-GMP molecule [6,7,8]. [1]. 11119645. GGDEF domain is homologous to adenylyl cyclase.

The GGDEF domain is named for the motif GG[DE]EF shared by many proteins carrying the domain. There is evidence that the domain has diguanylate cyclase activity [1][3]. Several proteins carrying this domain also carry domains with functions relating to environmental sensing. These include PleD, a response regulator protein involved in the swarmer-to-stalked cell transition in Caulobacter crescentus[2], and FixL, a heme-containing oxygen sensor protein.
