Cyclic-di-AMP (c-di-AMP) is a bacterial secondary messenger involved in various processes, including sensing of DNA-integrity, cell wall metabolism and potassium transport. A number of c-di-AMP receptor proteins have recently been identified in Staphylococcus aureus. One of them - PstA - possesses a ferredoxin-like fold and is structurally related to the class of PII signal-transduction proteins. PII proteins are involved in a large number of pathways, most of them associated with nitrogen metabolism. In this study we describe the mode of c-di-AMP binding and subsequent structural changes of S. aureus PstA. An altered architecture in PstA compared to canonical PII proteins results in differences in ligand coordination. (C) 2014 Federation of European Biochemical Societies. Published by Elsevier B.V.
