The protein Slr1143 is an active diguanylate cyclase in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 and interacts with the photoreceptor Cph2
Veronika Angerer,Philipp Schwenk,Thomas Wallner,Volkhard Kaever,Andreas Hiltbrunner,Annegret Wilde +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that Slr1143 is a new Cph2-interacting regulatory factor which modulates motility under red light and accordingly Cip1 (Cph2 -interacting protein 1) is proposed as a new designation for this gene product.

The cyanobacterial phytochrome 2 regulates the expression of motility-related genes through the second messenger cyclic di-GMP
TL;DR: Mutational and gene expression analysis suggest that SyCRP2, a CRP-like transcription factor, is involved in regulation ofMinor pilin and putative chaperone usher pili gene expression and supports previous findings that c-di-GMP is important for flocculation via the function of minor pilins.

Control of light-dependent behaviour in cyanobacteria by the second messenger cyclic di-GMP
TL;DR: In this article , the authors focus on the current knowledge of light-regulated c-di-GMP signalling systems in cyanobacteria and highlight the progress made in understanding the most prominent behavioural responses of the model cyanobacterial strains Thermosynechococcus vulcanus and Synechocystis sp.
Minor pilins are involved in motility and natural competence in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the minor pilin PilA5 is essential for natural transformation but is dispensable for motility and flocculation in Synechocystis.

Minor pilin genes are involved in motility and natural competence in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
TL;DR: It is shown that the minor pilin PilA5 is essential for natural transformation but is dispensable for motility and flocculation, and a set of minor pilins encoded by the pilA9-slr2019 transcriptional unit are necessary for Motility but are dispensableFor natural transformation.
