Abstract excerpt
The 739-codon rel(Seq) gene of Streptococcus equisimilis H46A is bifunctional, encoding a strong guanosine 3',5'-bis(diphosphate) 3'-pyrophosphohydrolase (ppGppase) and a weaker ribosome-independent ATP:GTP 3'-pyrophosphoryltransferase [(p)ppGpp synthetase]. To analyze the function of this gene, (p)ppGpp accumulation patterns as well as protein and RNA synthesis were compared during amino acid deprivation and...
