The second messenger cyclic di-AMP (c-di-AMP) plays a pivotal role in bacterial physiology by regulating osmolyte transport, potassium uptake, cell wall integrity and the overall stress response.

Figure 1: Inhibition of PKA blocks OD shifts. Here we examined the consequence of inhibition and activation of PKA on the physiological effects of monocular deprivation. We draw four conclusions from ...

The brain on drugs Drugs elevate CREB activity in the nucleus accumbens by activating cyclic AMP pathway, causing protein kinase A to translocate to the nucleus and phosphorylate CREB. Target genes ...

The activation of the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway is key for antitumor immunity. However, the development of STING agonist-based strategies in cancer ...
