Cyclic diadenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP) is a second-messenger nucleotide that is produced by many bacteria. C-di-AMP can not only regulate bacterial growth, cell-wall homeostasis, ion transport and gene transcription, but can also be recognized by multiple sensor / receptor proteins in infected host cells to trigger an innate immune response. Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae causes non-progressive pneumonia in both sheep and goats. Here, we analyzed c-di-AMP signaling in M. ovipneumoniae, which is a genome-reduced obligately pathogenic bacterium. Our results demonstrate that these bacteria can produce c-di-AMP, and we could identify the diadenylate cyclase, which was named DacM. The enzyme was found to utilize both ATP and ADP to synthesize c-di-AMP, resembling CdaM from a novel family of diadenylate cyclases first found in Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Furthermore, we present the crystal structures of DacM in the apo state and substrate-bound state at 3 [A] and 1.9 [A] resolution, respectively. Mutation of residues Asp112, Gly113, Tyr128, Phe129, and Arg143 surrounding the active sites to Ala were lethal to DacM enzymatic activity. These structures provide valuable insights into the biochemistry of c-di-AMP, and offer a basis for the structure-based design of new drugs for animal husbandry.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
