YybT Is a Signaling Protein That Contains a Cyclic Dinucleotide Phosphodiesterase Domain and a GGDEF Domain with ATPase Activity
摘要:
The cyclic dinucleotide c-di-GMP synthesized by the diadenylate cyclase domain was recently discovered as a messenger molecule for signaling DNA breaks in Bacillus subtilis. By searching bacterial genomes, we identified a family of DHH/DHHA1 domain proteins (COG3387) that co-occur with a subset of the diadenylate cyclase domain proteins. Here we report that the B. subtilis protein YybT, a member of the COG3387 family proteins, exhibits phosphodiesterase activity toward cyclic dinucleotides. The DHH/DHHA1 domain hydrolyzes c-di-AMP and c-di-GMP to generate the linear dinucleotides 5'-pApA and 5'-pGpG. The data suggest that c-di-AMP could be the physiological substrate for YybT given the physiologically relevant Michaelis-Menten constant (K-m) and the presence of YybT family proteins in the bacteria lacking c-di-GMP signaling network. The bacterial regulator ppGpp was found to be a strong competitive inhibitor of the DHH/DHHA1 domain, suggesting that YybT is under tight control during stringent response. In addition, the atypical GGDEF domain of YybT exhibits unexpected ATPase activity, distinct from the common diguanylate cyclase activity for GGDEF domains. We further demonstrate the participation of YybT in DNA damage and acid resistance by characterizing the phenotypes of the Delta yybT mutant. The novel enzymatic activity and stress resistance together point toward a role for YybT in stress signaling and response.

nucleotides (pN) with activated monomers (ImpN), the sequence- and regioselectivity was Pu(3')Py > Pu(3')Pu = Pu(2')Py > Pu(2')Pu. The 5'-pyrimidine initiated dimers formed less efficiently than the 5'-purine initiated dimers. Trimer formation was investigated by the synthesis of 8 dimers (pNpN) and measuring the yields of trimers formed in the reaction of each dimer with a mixture of equal molar amounts

of dimerization, d[D]/dt in M h(-1), was determined using two independent methods. The first method is based on the approximation that at the onset of the reaction the substrate is consumed only via hydrolysis and dimerization, and thus elongation can be neglected. The second, more accurate, method exploits the assertion that every oligomer was once a 3'-5'-linked dimer. Hence the concentration of
聚胞苷,聚(C),用作支架或模板,以指导和催化由鸟苷5'-磷酸2-甲基咪唑啉化物2-MeImpG合成长寡聚鸟苷酸酯。在不存在聚(C)的情况下,缓慢形成少量的三个异构体二聚体,即2'-5'-,3'-5'-和焦磷酸盐连接的。在存在主要以3'-5'键连接的聚(C)低聚物的情况下,可以快速且高产率地形成。产物分析表明,该低聚物是3'-5'连接的二聚体(简称D)的延伸产物。假定D是由两个2-MeImpG分子缓慢形成的(方案1),并且延伸较快,则二聚化的初始速率,使用两种独立的方法确定M h(-1)中的d [D] / dt。第一种方法基于以下近似值:在反应开始时,仅通过水解和二聚作用消耗底物,因此可以忽略延伸率。第二种更准确的方法是利用以下主张:每个低聚物都曾经是3'-5'连接的二聚体。因此,D的浓度是从低聚物产物的浓度间接获得的。这两种方法给出了可比的结果。在1.0 M NaCl,0.2 M MgCl(2)的存在下于pH
