Abstract excerpt
RelA and SpoT of Gram-negative organisms critically regulate cellular levels of (p)ppGpp. Here, we have dissected the spoT gene function of the cholera pathogen Vibrio cholerae by extensive genetic analysis. Unlike Escherichia coli, V. choleraeDeltarelADeltaspoT cells accumulated (p)ppGpp upon fatty acid or glucose starvation. The result strongly suggests RelA-SpoT-independent (p)ppGpp synthesis in V. cholerae....
