General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | cyclic di-AMP (c-di-AMP) is the only second messenger known to be essential for bacterial growth. It is mainly found in Gram-positive bacteria, including pathogenic bacteria like Listeria monocytogenes. CdaA is the sole diadenylate cyclase in Listeria monocytogenes | Listeria monocytogenes EGD |
malfunction | the essential role of Tyr187 is confirmed by mutation to Ala, leading to drastic loss of enzymatic activity | Listeria monocytogenes EGD |
additional information | flexibility of tyrosine 187 side chain involved in locking the adenine ring after ATP binding, residue Y187 is essential for enzyme activity. Structure analysis of the active site of dimeric CdaA with bound c-di-AMP, overview. In the monomeric CdaA-AMP complex, the tyrosine is rotated inward at the active site and stacks on the adenine in an almost coplanar orientation. In contrast, in the dimeric c-di-AMP complex, the tyrosine side chain is flipped outward, as the Thr202 side chain of the other subunit packs against the adenine ring | Listeria monocytogenes EGD |
