C-AMP-GMP

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

c-AMP-GMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate guanosine monophosphate) is a cyclized dinucleotide and a second messenger in some bacteria .

properties

c-AMP-GMP forms a ring with two ribose units and two phosphate groups . It occurs in delta proteobacteria . It binds to the c-AMP-GMP riboswitch , which controls , among other things, chemotaxis and genes for the use of iron (III) oxide for the exoelectrogenesis of certain bacteria. C-AMP-GMP presumably controls the gene expression of a single superregulon in delta proteobacteria. c-AMP-GMP is also important for the virulence of Vibrio cholerae .
