Show abstract
Bacterial second messenger signaling often plays an important role in cellular physiology. In this study, we have attempted to understand how c-di-AMP synthesis and degradation are transcriptionally regulated in M. smegmatis. We have discovered that, although c-di-AMP synthesis gene disA exists in a multi-gene operon; a sub-operon promoter arrangement plays a key role under various stress conditions, keeping its dual function property intact. Further, we learned that c-di-AMP plays a role in the autoregulation of the disA promoter to limit intracellular c-di-AMP concentration. We also identified an alternate start codon within the disA gene which can lead to the synthesis of truncated DisA protein at times using an independent stress-inducible promoter. All in all, this study was helpful to understand how c-di-AMP synthesis is regulated under normal and stress conditions linked to its physiological relevance in M. smegmatis.
