yedQ

This part sequence originated from Escherichia coli encodes YedQ protein. YedQ is diguanylate cyclase.

Usage and Biology

YedQ can work with the phosphodiesterase (YhjH) modulated the in vivo c-di-GMP levels. The expression of the yedQ gene increased the intracellular c-di-GMP concentration and resulted in the enhanced secretion of EPS[1]. So, The protein YedQ can promote bacterial self-aggregation and adhesion onto negatively charged surfaces. In E. coli, extracellular DNA (eDNA) was increased as expected for the deletions of yedQ. As a result of the significantly enhanced motility, but contrary to current models of decreased biofilm formation with decreased diguanylate cyclase activity, early biofilm formation increased dramatically for the deletions of yedQ[2].
