Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 3.0001Å Ligands: MG Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function DNCV_VIBCH Catalyzes the synthesis of cyclic AMP-GMP from ATP and GTP. Is also able to produce c-di-AMP and c-di-GMP from ATP and GTP, respectively; however, c-AMP-GMP is the dominant molecule produced by DncV in vivo. Is required for efficient V.cholerae intestinal colonization, and down-regulates the colonization-influencing process of chemotaxis. Is not active with dATP, TTP, UTP, and CTP. Publication Abstract from PubMed Cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) play central roles in bacterial pathogenesis and innate immunity. The mammalian enzyme cGAS synthesizes a unique cyclic dinucleotide (cGAMP) containing a 2'-5' phosphodiester linkage essential for optimal immune stimulation, but the molecular basis for linkage specificity is unknown. Here, we show that the Vibrio cholerae pathogenicity factor DncV is a prokaryotic cGAS-like enzyme whose activity provides a mechanistic rationale for the unique ability of cGAS to produce 2'-5' cGAMP. Three high-resolution crystal structures show that DncV and human cGAS generate CDNs in sequential reactions that proceed in opposing directions. We explain 2' and 3' linkage specificity and test this model by reprogramming the human cGAS active site to produce 3'-5' cGAMP, leading to selective stimulation of alternative STING adaptor alleles in cells. These results demonstrate mechanistic homology between bacterial signaling and mammalian innate immunity and explain how active site configuration controls linkage chemistry for pathway-specific signaling.
