c-di-AMP inactivates a K+/H+ antiporter in Bacillus subtilis

Inês R. Figueiredo-Costa, Marta Lorga-Gomes, Sara Capela Sousa-Moreira…·João Henrique Morais-Cabral

This study investigates how c-di-AMP regulates the K+/H+ antiporter CpaA in Bacillus subtilis, finding that c-di-AMP inactivates CpaA at low micromolar concentrations.
