Enzyme DgcZ has been co-crystallized with Zinc conforming it to its inactivated conformation. The CZB domain is common to many bacterial lineages, appearing most commonly in bacterial chemoreceptors involved in chemotaxis. The second most common group of CZB domains is that of DgcZ homologs. [1]. The domain has an important role in signal transduction of bacteria[1]. 30 small bacterial proteins of family PRK0984 from differing strands of ''E. coli'' contain a CZB domain N-terminal to a GGDEF domain[1]. The GGEEF domain of DgcZ is common to this family of enzymes containing the GGDEF domain. ''E. coli'' DgcZ is a protein made of two domains each of which is a symmetric homodimer. The GGEEF domain is catalytic in that it contains the active sites used for cyclizing GTP into c-di-GMP. The CZB domain is used for ligand-mediated regulation of c-di-GMP production. Zinc binds as an allosteric inhibitor in coordination with four residues to shift the protein into an inactive conformation.
