Emerging roles for diguanylate cyclase during the evolution of soma in dictyostelia

Abstract Background Cyclic di-guanylate (c-di-GMP), synthesized by diguanylate cyclase, is a major second messenger in prokaryotes, where it triggers biofilm formation. The dictyostelid social amoebas acquired diguanylate cyclase (dgcA) by horizontal gene transfer. Dictyostelium discoideum (Ddis) in...
