Notes: The protein CsgD, for Curlin subunit gene D, is a transcriptional regulator Hammar M,1995that regulates a number of genes involved in the Curli assembly, transport, and structural components Loferer H,1997; Hammar M,1995 which are important for biofilm formation Brombacher E,2003 In addition, it also regulates genes related to cell surface-associated structures Brombacher E,2003; Gualdi L,2008; Brombacher E,2006 It may also have the capability to respond to starvation and high cell density Brombacher E,2003and positively controls σS expression Bougdour A,2006; Gualdi L,2007 In general the environmental conditions, such as low osmolarity, low growth temperature (csgD and the production of the biofilm and cellulose Gualdi L,2008; Prigent-Combaret C,2001; Olsen A,1993Since csgD is induced during the mid-exponential phase of growth and the CsgD-dependent activation of csg genes is detected in the stationary phase, it has been suggested that CsgD is posttranscriptionally activated in the stationary phase Brombacher E,2003CsgD might activate transcription through two different mechanisms, as suggested by the different locations of its binding sites in the regulatory regions of the genes it activates; In one regulatory region, the protein binds to a single site, whereas it binds to two sites arranged as inverted repeats in another region Brombacher E,2003 CsgD belongs to the FixJ/LuxR/UhpA family, which is characterized by a C-terminal domain that contains a potential helix-turn-helix DNA-binding motif and a receiver domain in the N-terminal region Volz K.,1993Five different small RNAs are known to regulate expression of CsgD at the post-transcriptional level; reviewed in Boehm A,2012.; plasma membrane; two-component response regulator activity; two-component signal transduction system (phosphorelay); membrane; intracellular signal transduction; Transcription related; activator; repressor; sequence-specific DNA binding; transcription, DNA-dependent; DNA binding; sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity; intracellular; regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent
