Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli, deletion of relA and spoT results in an inability to synthesize ppGpp, guanosine-3',5'-bis(pyrophosphate), and a loss in the ability to grow on amino acid-free minimal media. Two spontaneous missense suppressor alleles, rpoD(P504L) and rpoD(S506F), able to confer complete prototrophy without the reappearance of ppGpp, were localized to that portion of rpoD coding for conserved region 3.1 of...
