Two DHH Subfamily 1 Proteins in Streptococcus pneumoniae Possess Cyclic Di-AMP Phosphodiesterase Activity and Affect Bacterial Growth and Virulence

Abstract: c Cyclic di-AMP (c-di-AMP) and cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) are signaling molecules that play important roles in bacterial biology and pathogenesis. However, these nucleotides have not been explored in Streptococcus pneumoniae, an important bacterial pathogen. In this study, we characterized the c-di-AMP-associated genes of S. pneumoniae. The results showed that SPD_1392 (DacA) is a diadenylate cyclase that converts ATP to c-di-AMP. Both SPD_2032 (Pde1) and SPD_1153 (Pde2), which belong to the DHH subfamily 1 prot… Show more

“…1C), with Co 2ϩ -associated catalytic activity being as twice high as that of Mn 2ϩ . In contrast, Streptococcus pneumoniae Pde2 binding Mn 2ϩ has the highest efficiency (16). The enzymatic activity of Rv2837c adapts to a broad pH range ( Fig.…”

“…c-di-GMP is down-regulated by EAL domain and HD-GYP domain, resulting in 5Ј-pGpG and GMP, respectively (6,39), whereas c-di-AMP is broken down by stand-alone DHH-DHHA1 domain and membrane-bound DHH-DHHA1, as well as HD domain to AMP and 5Ј-pApA, respectively (16,18,40). M. tuberculosis does not have HD-GYP domain protein and seems lack an essential link in c-di-GMP metabolism (41).…”

“…In recent years, c-di-AMP has been identified as a major second messenger (reviewed in reference 141). c-di-AMP is synthetized from two molecules of ATP by diadenylyl cyclases (DACs), and it is degraded to pApA or AMP by phosphodiesterases (PDEs) (142,143).…”

“…In Bacillus subtilis, bacterial c-di-AMP levels are reduced in response to DNA damage, resulting in delayed sporulation (Oppenheimer-Shaanan et al, 2011). High c-di-AMP levels result in smaller bacterial size in Staphylococcus aureus (Corrigan et al, 2011), c-di-AMP secreted by Listeria monocytogenes triggers a cytosolic pathway for innate immunity (Woodward et al, 2010), and c-di-AMP homeostasis is required for the virulence of Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus pneumonia (Bai et al, 2013;Cho and Kang, 2013;Witte et al, 2013). c-di-AMP is synthesized by a protein containing a diadenylate cyclase domain (DAC domain).…”
