Genes in this functional category

ppGpp synthesis and degradation

• RelA
• SasA
• SasB

c-di-AMP synthesis

• DisA
• CdaA
• CdaS

Control of c-di-AMP synthesis

• CdaR controls CdaA activity PubMed
• RadA controls DisA activity PubMed

Note that c-di-AMP is essential for the growth of B. subtilis, but accumulation of the nucleotide is detrimental as well PubMed

• GdpP
• PgpH

c-di-GMP degradation (presence of an EAL domain)

• DgcW (not experimentally proven)
• PdeH

c-di-GMP synthesis

• DgcK
• DgcW
• DgcP

Targets of signalling nucleotides
