DgcZ is a dimeric protein with | DgcZ is a dimeric protein with two domains per monomer<sup>[4]</sup>. The DgcZ protein has <scene name='69/694239/C2_symmetry/6'>C2</scene> symmetry down its central axis. The catalytic glycine-glycine-glutamate-glutamate-phenylalanine (GGEEF) domains are responsible for synthesizing c-di-GMP. The regulatory chemoreceptor Zinc binding (CZB) domains house the two zinc binding sites, one site located on each monomer. DgcZ binds Zinc in the CZB domains with sub-femtomolar (10<sup>-16</sup>M) affinity. When Zinc is bound, the CZB and GGEEF domains adopt conformations that inhibit DgcZ function, as illustrated in Figure 3<sup>[3]</sup>. Enzyme DgcZ was co-crystallized with Zinc, fixing the structure in its inactivate conformation. The GGEEF domains are catalytic, containing the active sites for cyclizing GTP into c-di-GMP. The CZB domains are used for ligand-mediated regulation of c-di-GMP production and have an important role in signal transduction of bacteria. <scene name='69/694239/Dgcz_ggeef_dom_and_czb_dom/3'>CZB and GGEEF domains</scene> are found in proteins from many bacterial lineages, including DgcZ homologs<sup>[5]</sup>. | ||
