... withreplacement of this segment by the rPDE2 region,which comprised only 23% of the residues of thecyaB1 GAF B domain, was exclusively, yet weakly, sti-mulated by cGMP, whereas the activation by cAMPwas ... lm, similar to wild-type cyaB1, and, surpris-ingly, activation by cAMP was eliminated (Fig. 2A,Table 1). Obviously, exchange of this region switchedthe specificity of the cyaB1 tandem GAF domain ... switch in purine specificity, only 11% of the sequence of thecyanobacterial GAF B needs to be replaced by PDE2 sequences. We wereunable, however, to switch the purine specificity of the PDE2 tandem...
