Genes in this functional category

ppGpp synthesis and degradation

• RelA
• YjbM
• YwaC

c-di-AMP synthesis

• DisA
• CdaA
• CdaS

Control of c-di-AMP synthesis

• CdaR controls CdaA activity PubMed
• RadA controls DisA activity PubMed

Note that c-di-AMP is essential for the growth of B. subtilis, but accumulation of the nucleotide is detrimental as well PubMed

c-di-AMP degradation

• GdpP

c-di-GMP degradation (presence of an EAL domain)

• DgcW
• YkuI
• PdeH

c-di-GMP synthesis/ based on similarity (presence of a GGDEF domain)

• YdaK
• DgcK
• DgcW
• DgcP (this enzyme lacks important residues)

Targets of signalling nucleotides

• ppGpp targets
  • DnaG
  • GdpP
  • Gmk
  • GuaB
  • HprT

• c-di-GMP targets
  • DgrA (contains a PilZ domain)

• potential c-di-AMP targets
  • KtrA (binds c-di-AMP in vivo) PubMed
