Description
The diguanylate cyclase from Agrobacterium vitis has been engineered to remove phosphodiesterase activity, allowing for production of cyclic-diGMP from guanosine triphosphate (GTP) without the production of 5'-phosphoguanylyl-(3',5')-guanosine (pGpG).
Abbr
DGC, Recombinant (Agrobacterium vitis)
Species
Agrobacterium vitis
Applications
Useful for producing cyclic-diGMP from GTP without production of pGpG
Completely lacks unwanted phosphodiesterase activity
No product inhibition even at high concentrations of GTP
Remains active while immobilized to solid resin and retain enzymatic activity after several months of storage
Can be used to synthesize radiolabeled cyclic diGMP from radiolabeled GTP
