The second messenger c-di-AMP controls natural competence via ComFB signaling protein

S. Samir, S. Doello, E. Zimmer, M. Haffner, A. M. Enkerlin, T. Mueller, L. Dengler, S. P. Lambidis, S. Sivabalasarma, S.-V. Albers, K. A. Selim

The paper shows that c-di-AMP regulates natural competence in cyanobacteria via the ComFB signaling protein, which is essential for pilus biogenesis and DNA uptake.

Diurnal rhythm causes metabolic crises in the cyanobacterial mutants of c-di-AMP signalling cascade

M. Haffner, O. Mantovani, P. Spaet, B. Macek, M. Hagemann, K. Forchhammer, K. A. Selim

The paper investigates the role of c-di-AMP and SbtB in cyanobacterial diurnal metabolism, finding that their disruption leads to metabolic dysregulation and diurnal lethality.

PII signal transduction superfamily acts as a valve plug to control bicarbonate and ammonia homeostasis among different bacterial phyla

M. Haffner, W.-T. Hou, O. Mantovani, P. R. Walke, K. Hauf, M. Borisova, M. Hagemann, C.-Z. Zhou, K. Forchhammer, K. A. Selim

The paper identifies SbtB as a PII-like protein that acts as a unidirectional valve to control bicarbonate transport via SbtA in cyanobacteria, with similar mechanisms observed in Bacillus for ammonium transport.

A novel Ca2+-binding protein influences photosynthetic electron transport in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120

J. Walter, K. A. Selim, F. Leganes, F. Fernandez-Pinas, U. C. Vothknecht, K. Forchhammer, E.-M. Aro, P. J. Gollan

The paper identifies a novel calcium-binding protein, CSE, in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 and shows its role in photosynthetic electron transport by altering protein complexes and respiration.
