FIC proteins of intracellular bacterial pathogens modify host cell signaling via the post-translational modification AMPylation. To study AMPylation, monoclonal anti-AMP antibodies were generated, which detect AMPylation independent of protein backbone, with high sensitivity and specificity. They help to show that
C. burnetii Fic 2 (CbFic2) is regulated by interplay of DNA-binding and autoAMPylation and exhibits deAMPylation activity. In mammalian cells, CbFic2 modulates kinase activity, mitosis, mRNA splicing and immune response via AMPylation of histone H3 and HMG-I.
