The enzyme, described from Gram-positive bacteria, degrades the second messenger cyclic di-3′,5′-adenylate. It is a membrane-bound protein that contains a cytoplasmic facing Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domain, a modified GGDEF domain, and a DHH/DHHA1 domain, which confers the phosphodiesterase activity. Activity requires Mn2+ and is inhibited by pApA. |
