* Calcium is important for the activity of many many enzymes, and its cellular homeostasis is therefore important. Now, the previously unknown [[YetJ]] protein has been identified as a pH-sensitive calcium leak that allows reducing the inracellular calcium concentration. [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24904158 Chang et al.] report the structure of [[YetJ]] and explain how two conserved Asp residues sense changes in the pH.

* Cyclic di-AMP is the only known essential second messenger. In ''B. subtilis'', it binds the potassium transporter [[KtrA]] and the [[ydaO riboswitch]]. This [[riboswitch]] occurs twice in the genome of ''B. subtilis'': in the untranslated regions of the ''[[ydaO]]'' gene and the ''[[ktrA]]-[[ktrB]]'' operon. Now, two studies by [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25086509 Ren and Patel] and [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25086507 Gao and Serganov] report the structure of [[ydaO riboswitch]] bound to c-di-AMP. Unexpectedly, the [[riboswitch]] structure features two three-way junctions, a turn and a pseudoknot and binds two stapled c-di-AMP molecules.

New procedure for account creation:

  • Due to massive spam attacks, we had to change our policy for the creation of accounts. If you want to create an account, just send me a mail. We will create the account for you as quickly as possible, then you can change your password. This does not affect existing accounts, which remain active.
  • Please remember that all members of the Bacillus community are invited to create accounts and to contribute to SubtiWiki!



News in SubtiWiki:

  • August 2014: The first mobile application for SubtiWiki is now available for users of Android phones: Go for SubtiWiki in Google Play! IPhone users, please be patient! You will be served next!

  • April 2013: SubtiWiki uses a new, faster Mediawiki platform! The times for page access are significantly reduced. Enjoy!
  • March 2013: updated Excel files that map all genes to categories and regulons as well as the general updated identity mapping of all genes were uploaded.
  • October 2012: the essential genes have been categorized
  • September 2012: 300 mutant strains available at the BGSC were added to the corresponding gene pages
  • August 2012: SubtiExpress, the new compagnon of SubtiWiki devoted to gene expression is online! Try it out!
  • April 2012: Links for expression data under 104 different conditions (based on Nicolas et al., 2012) have been added to the expression section of the individual gene pages
  • April 2011: SubtInteract, a presentation of protein-protein interactions in B. subtilis, is online!
  • December 2010: SubtiCellPublisher allows the conversion of CellDesigner diagrams to navigatable presentations in the style of SubtiPathways
