Sondermann and colleagues have characterized FimX, a protein with degenerate GGDEF and EAL domains. The study confirms the expected domain folds lacking conserved catalytic residues for c-di-GMP synthesis/degradation, and also defines domain arrangements, providing insight to regulatory mechanisms.
松德曼(Sondermann)及其同事对具有退化 GGDEF 和 EAL 结构域的 FimX 蛋白进行了特征描述。该研究证实了预期的结构域折叠,缺乏 c-di-GMP 合成/降解的保守催化残基,同时还定义了结构域排列,为调控机制提供了深入了解。
