Comments
Comments produces (p)ppGpp under starvation conditions (stringent response) [PUB_0149]; ppGpp in turn regulates transcription of rRNA and tRNA, translation, and replication [PUB_0149]; ACP interacts with spoT to shift equlibrium toward (p)ppGpp and away from GTP/GDP and pyrophosphate [PUB_0149]; ribosome-associated (p)ppGpp synthetase responding mainly to uncharged tRNAs that accumulate and binds to ribosomes A-site as a result of amino acid limitation [PUB_0150]; recognizes stalled ribosomes and synthesizes ppGpp [PUB_0153]; ppGpp binds in the secondary channel of RNA polymerase and prevents transcription of tRNA, rRNA [PUB_0151]; ppGpp promotes transcription of amino acid biosynthesis genes [PUB_0151]; ppGpp inhibits DNA primase [PUB_0152]; Mn2+ cofactor requirement inferred by homology [PUB_0096].
