Diguanylate-cyclase (DGC) or GGDEF domain Diguanylate-cyclase (DGC) or GGDEF domain: Originally named after a conserved residue pattern, and initially described as a domain of unknown function 1 (DUF1). This domain is widely present in bacteria, linked to a wide range of non-homologous domains in a variety of cell signaling proteins. The domain shows homology to the adenylyl cyclase catalytic domain. This correlates with the functional information available on two GGDEF-containing proteins, namely diguanylate cyclase and phosphodiesterase A of Acetobacter xylinum, both of which regulate the turnover of cyclic diguanosine monophosphate. Together with the EAL domain, GGDEF might be involved in regulating cell surface adhesion in bacteria.
