Sustained Control of Pyruvate Carboxylase by the Essential Second Messenger Cyclic di-AMP in Bacillus subtilis

ABSTRACT In Bacillus subtilis and other Gram-positive bacteria, cyclic di-AMP is an essential second messenger that signals potassium availability by binding to a variety of proteins. In some bacteria, c-di-AMP also binds to the pyruvate carboxylase to inhibit its activity. We have discovered that i...
