Disease relevance of cyaB2

The tandem GAF domains from the cyanobacterium Anabaena PCC7120 cyaB2 adenylyl cyclase form an antiparallel dimer with cAMP bound to all four binding sites. cAMP binding causes highly cooperative allosteric enzyme activation (>500-fold; EC(50) = 1 microM; Hill coefficient >2.0) [1].

High impact information on cyaB2

The cyaB2 GAF domain NKFDE motifs contain inserts of 14 (GAF-A) and 19 (GAF-B) amino acids not present in PDE2 or cyaB1 [1].
