As a central signaling molecule, c-di-GMP (bis-(3,5)-cyclic diguanosine monophosphate) is becoming the focus for research in bacteria physiology. Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 genome contains highly complicated c-di-GMP metabolizing genes and a number of these proteins have been identified and investigated. Especially, a sophisticated network of these proteins is emerging. In current study, mainly through Bacteria-2-Hybrid assay, we found PA0575 (RmcA), a GGDEF-EAL dual protein, to interact with two other dual proteins of PA4601 (MorA) and PA4959 (FimX). These observations imply the intricacy of c-di-GMP metabolizing protein interactions. Our work thus provides one piece of data to increase the understandings to c-di-GMP signaling.
