Hypothetical regulatory model for flagellar synthesis in Pseudomonas fluorescens F113. In this updated model, the transcriptional regulator AmrZ positively controls the expression of the gene encoding the transmembrane DGC AdrA. This DGC responds to unknown environmental signals and synthesizes the c-di-GMP that, when bound to SadB, is involved in the repression of the flagellar apparatus synthesis. SadB dimers bound to c-di-GMP activates the expression of the gene encoding the sigma factor AlgU, required for the expression of the gene encoding the global regulator AmrZ. From this point, the hub AmrZ/FleQ by means of a mutual transcriptional repression controls the expression of the flagellar biosynthesis genes. The Gac branch of the signaling pathway remains as described earlier10.
