Function
DISA_THEMA Participates in a DNA-damage check-point. DisA forms globular foci that rapidly scan along the chromosomes searching for lesions (By similarity).[1] Has also diadenylate cyclase activity, catalyzing the condensation of 2 ATP molecules into cyclic di-AMP (c-di-AMP). c-di-AMP likely acts as a signaling molecule that may couple DNA integrity with a cellular process. Does not convert GTP to c-di-GMP.[2]
