The protein

Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

• synthesis of c-di-GMP from two molecules of GTP [Pubmed|23893111]

[SW|Domains]

• six transmembrane helices at the N-terminus (according to UniProt?)
• contains a C-terminal [SW|GGDEF domain] [Pubmed|22821967]

Structure

• [PDB|2WB4] (the C-terminal [SW|GGDEF domain], PleD from Caulobacter vibrioides, 44% identity)

[SW|Localization]

• cell membrane at cell poles and septa, probably close to [protein|70ED3CE683F3A3F785480F40986CABE7729C17C7|YdaK] [pubmed|28536559]
