Here, we report that 2',3'-cNMPs, which are synthesized by RnaA and degraded by A1S_2339, A1S_0249, and A1S_2666, play critical roles in the modulation of the physiology of . 2',3'-cNMPs specifically bind to the receptor protein CRP in and thus affect the interaction between CRP and the promoters of target genes. Furthermore, our study reveals that bacteriophages elevate 2',3'-cNMPs to up-regulate the transcription of the transposases and Mu-like integrases required for bacteriophage DNA integration. Together, our results show that 2',3'-cNMPs are important intracellular signals that control biological functions of , and bacteriophages could hijack these signals to facilitate phage DNA integration.
