Here, we combine structural and sequence information to define a purine-binding motif that is present in sensor domains of thousands of bacterial receptors that modulate motility, gene expression, metabolism, and second-messenger turnover. Microcalorimetric titrations of selected sensor domains validate their ability to specifically bind purine derivatives, and evolutionary analyses indicate that purine sensors share a common ancestor with amino-acid receptors. Furthermore, we provide experimental evidence of physiological relevance of purine sensing in a second-messenger signaling system that modulates c-di- GMP levels.}, organization = {Spanish Ministry for Science, Innovation and Universities/Agencia Estatal de Investigación https://doi.org/10. 13039/501100011033 (grants PID2020-112612GB-I00 to T.K., PID2019- 103972GA-I00 to M.A.M. and PID2020-116261GB-I00 to J.A.G.)}, organization = {Junta de Andalucía (grant P18-FR-1621 to T.K.)}, organization = {CSIC (grant 2023AEP002 to M.A.M.)}, organization = {NIH (grant 1R35GM131760 to I.B.Z.)}, publisher = {Nature Research}, title = {Ubiquitous purine sensor modulates diverse signal transduction pathways in bacteria}, doi = {10.1038/s41467-024-50275-3}, author = {Monteagudo Cascales, Elizabet and M.
