Abstract excerpt
HipA of Escherichia coli is a eukaryote-like serine-threonine kinase that inhibits cell growth and induces persistence (multidrug tolerance). Previously, it was proposed that HipA inhibits cell growth by the phosphorylation of the essential translation factor EF-Tu. Here, we provide evidence that EF-Tu is not a target of HipA. Instead, a genetic screen reveals that the overexpression of glutamyl-tRNA synthetase...
