Paper of the month: September 2014

• 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 Ren and Patel and 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.
• Relevant SubtiWiki pages: riboswitch, YdaO riboswitch, ktrA, metabolism of signalling nucleotides
