ExplorEnz: EC 3.1.4.52

3.1.4.52

Accepted name:

cyclic-guanylate-specific phosphodiesterase

Reaction:

cyclic di-3′,5′-guanylate + H₂O = 5′-phosphoguanylyl(3′→5′)guanosine

Glossary:

c-di-GMP = c-di-guanylate = cyclic di-3′,5′-guanylate = cyclic-bis(3′→5′) dimeric GMP

Other name(s):

cyclic bis(3′→5′)diguanylate phosphodiesterase; c-di-GMP-specific phosphodiesterase; c-di-GMP phosphodiesterase; phosphodiesterase (misleading); phosphodiesterase A1; PDEA1; VieA

Systematic name:

cyclic bis(3′→5′)diguanylate 3′-guanylylhydrolase

Comments:

Requires Mg²⁺ or Mn²⁺ for activity and is inhibited by Ca²⁺ and Zn²⁺. Contains a heme unit. This enzyme linearizes cyclic di-3′,5′-guanylate, the product of EC 2.7.7.65, diguanylate cyclase and an allosteric activator of EC 2.4.1.12, cellulose synthase (UDP-forming), rendering it inactive [1]. It is the balance between these two enzymes that determines the cellular level of c-di-GMP [1].
