Comments Some members have been shown to bind cyclic di-GMP and are involved in the regulation of cellular functions, including virulence. However, An et al. show that not all members of the YajQ family preferentially bind cyclic di-GMP, suggesting that they have other cellular roles. This contention is supported by the observation that YajQ family members are found in bacteria that do not apparently have cyclic di-GMP signaling, such as H.influenzae. Further work will be required to identify residues that are critical for cyclic di-GMP binding, which may then allow bioinformatic discrimination of those family members that have this capability. (see PubMed:25329577).
