Abstract excerpt
Bacterial alarmone (p)ppGpp, is a global regulator responsible for the stringent control. Two homologous (p)ppGpp synthetases, RelA and SpoT, have been identified and characterized in Escherichia coli, whereas Gram-positive bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis have been thought to possess only a single RelA-SpoT enzyme. We have now identified two genes, yjbM and ywaC, in B. subtilis that encode a novel type of...
