Cyclic nucleotide second messengers represent a cornerstone signal transduction mechanism in all domains of life. Cyclic adenosine 3’, 5’-monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine 3’, 5’-monophosphate (cGMP) are the most important nucleotide messengers in eukaryotes. For several decades, bacteria have been known to use cAMP to control a variety of processes, from utilization of alternative sugars to motility and virulence. However, until now, the involvement of cGMP in bacterial signaling has been at best controversial (reviewed in Linder, 2010). This controversy is now over. Carl Bauer from Indiana University and his colleagues in this issue of Molecular Microbiology provide unambiguous evidence that the Alphaproteobacterium Rhodospirillum centenum synthesizes cGMP and uses it for regulation of a developmental process via the cGMP-dependent transcription factor. Among nucleotide messengers, cGMP represented the last bastion of eukaryotic exclusivity; and that bastion has now fallen.Over the last few years, the universe of bacterial cyclic nucleotide messengers has been rapidly expanding (Fig. 1). A few years ago, a new cyclic nucleotide (more precisely, cyclic dinucleotide), cyclic dimeric GMP (c-di-GMP) discovered in Moshe Benziman’s lab at Hebrew University in the mid-80s (Ross et al., 1987), rose from obscurity to the limelight of a ubiquitous second messenger (Ryjenkov et al., 2005). c-di-GMP is now known to control a transition in the Proteobacteria from a single-cell motile state to a surface-attached multicellular state. In the multicellular state, c-di-GMP plays a central role in formation and dissolution of biofilms by regulating—via diverse mechanisms—production of extracellular polysaccharides, adhesive proteins, pili and flagella (Wolfe and Visick, 2009).
