The DNA-binding induced (de)AMPylation activity of a Coxiella burnetii Fic enzyme targets Histone H3

Abstract The intracellular bacterial pathogen Coxiella burnetii evades the host response by secreting effector proteins that aid in establishing a replication-friendly niche. Bacterial filamentation induced by cyclic AMP (Fic) enzymes can act as effectors by covalently modifying target proteins with...
