Cyclic di-GMP Positively Regulates DNA Repair in Vibrio cholerae.

ABSTRACT: In Vibrio cholerae, high intracellular cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) concentration are associated with a biofilm lifestyle, while low intracellular c-di-GMP concentrations are associated with a motile lifestyle. c-di-GMP also regulates other behaviors, such as acetoin production and type II secretion; however, the extent of phenotypes regulated by c-di-GMP is not fully understood. We recently determined that the sequence upstream of the DNA repair gene encoding 3-methyladenine glycosylase (tag) was positively induced by c-di-GMP, suggesting that this signaling system might impact DNA repair pathways. We identified a DNA region upstream of tag that is required for transcriptional induction by c-di-GMP. We further showed that c-di-GMP induction of tag expression was de
