The heme-based direct oxygen sensor DosP degrades c-di-GMP, a second messenger nearly unique to bacteria. In stationary phase Escherichia coli, DosP is the most abundant c-di-GMP phosphodiesterase. Ligation of O<sub>2</sub> to a heme-binding PAS domain (hPAS) of the protein enhances the phosphodiesterase through an allosteric mechanism that has remained elusive. We determine six structures of full-length DosP in its aerobic or anaerobic conformations, with or without c-di-GMP. DosP is an elongat ...[more]
