PleD
Overview
|
PleD from Caulobacter crescentus is a response regulator with an unorthodox catalytic, diguanylate cyclase, output domain. It is composed of a canonical CheY-like response regulator receiver (Rec) domain,
a Rec-like (Rec') adaptor domain,
and a C-terminal GGDEF domain that confers the catalytic acitvity.

The GGDEF domain is named after the highly conserved signature motif (in PleD it is GGEEF) that locates to a β-hairpin.
Substrate binding
|
The motif is part of the substrate binding site as identified in the structure of PleD in complex with GTP-alpha-S / Mg++. The GGDEFY domain binds only one GTP subsrate molecule. For the reaction to proceed, two GTP loaded GGDEF domains have to align antiparallely. MODEL.
