“…Here we demonstrate that c-di-GMP also intervenes later in development to control differentiation of the reproductive hyphae into spores by arming a novel anti-σ (RsiG) to bind and sequester a sporulation-specific σ factor (σ(WhiG)). We present the structure of the RsiG-(c-di-GMP)(2)-σ(WhiG) complex, revealing an unusual, partially intercalated c-di-GMP dimer bound at the RsiG-σ(WhiG) interface. …”

“…Several other genes encoding proteins with important roles in development were also identified as WhiA targets, including the sporulation-specific sigma factor σ(WhiG) and the diguanylate cyclase CdgB. Cell division is tightly coordinated with the orderly arrest of apical growth in the sporogenic cell, and filP, encoding a key component of the polarisome that directs apical growth, is a direct target for WhiA-mediated repression during sporulation.…”
