Citation | Journal: Cell Rep / Year: 2026Title: Structural mechanism of 3'3'-cGAMP-induced filamentation and phospholipid hydrolysis by CapV in bacterial antiphage defense.

In Vibrio cholerae, phage infection activates CD-NTase DncV to produce 3'3'-cGAMP, which triggers phospholipase CapV to degrade phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol, the major phospholipids in the inner-membranes, thereby inducing cell death. However, how 3'3'-cGAMP activates CapV was unclear. Here we present crystal structures of inactive Acinetobacter baumannii CapV in apo and 3'3'-cGAMP-bound forms, along with cryo-EM structures of activated CapV-3'3'-cGAMP complex, with or without substrate dioleoylphosphatidyl-ethanolamine (DOPE). Apo-CapV forms symmetric dimers in a "closed" state. 3'3'-cGAMP binding drives lateral polymerization of dimers into filament assembly, inducing an "open" state that exposes the active site and substrate-binding cleft. DOPE binding further shifts CapV to an "ajar" state, where a Y-shaped cleft positions DOPE for hydrolysis via a conserved Ser/Asp catalytic dyad. This 3'3'-cGAMP-induced filamentation mirrors activation mechanisms of TIR-STING, TIR-SAVED, and mammalian STING, revealing a conserved signaling pattern across immune systems. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
