physiological function | in-frame deletion of the cdaA gene causes decreased cyclic di-AMP levels, increased sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide and increased production of extracellular polysaccharides. More than 200 genes are significantly upregulated or downregulated in the cdaA mutant. Genes with increased or decreased expression are clustered in cellular polysaccharide biosynthetic processes and oxidoreductase activity respectively. The expression of several genomic islands, such as GTFB/C, TnSmu, CRISPR1-Cas and CRISPR2-Cas, is altered in the cdaA mutant | Streptococcus mutans |
