YtfK activates the stringent response by triggering the alarmone synthetase SpoT in Escherichia coli

The enzyme SpoT is important for accumulation of the alarmone (p)ppGpp, which triggers the stringent response in E. coli. Here, Germain et al. show that the protein YtfK promotes SpoT-dependent accumulation of (p)ppGpp and is required for activation of the stringent response during phosphate and fat...

Sumario:The enzyme SpoT is important for accumulation of the alarmone (p)ppGpp, which triggers the stringent response in E. coli. Here, Germain et al. show that the protein YtfK promotes SpoT-dependent accumulation of (p)ppGpp and is required for activation of the stringent response during phosphate and fatty acid starvation.
