Rickettsia parkeri hypothetical protein RPATATE_1266, a homolog of exopolyphosphatase/guanosine pentaphosphate phosphohydrolase, regulates tick cell apoptosis [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumRickettsia parkeri, an intracellular bacterium transmitted by Amblyomma maculatum ticks, causes a febrile illness associated with eschar formation in humans. As a less virulent member of the spotted fever group within the Rickettsia genus, R.

Activation of ATP:GTP 3'-pyrophosphotransferase (guanosine pentaphosphate synthetase) in Streptomyces antibioticus [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1994 The activity of the ATP:GTP 3'-pyrophosphotransferase (guanosine pentaphosphate synthetase I [GPSI]) from Streptomyces antibioticus is stimulated maximally by methanol at 20% (vol/vol) in assay mixtures. Although the enzyme is not activated by ribosomes, its activity is stimulated by tRNA (uncharged or charged) and by synthetic mRNA [e.g., poly(U ...

Functional characterization of exopolyphosphatase/guanosine pentaphosphate phosphohydrolase (PPX/GPPA) ofCampylobacter jejuni [PDF]
Virulence, 2014 The inorganic polyphosphate (poly-P) is a key regulator of stress responses and virulence in many bacterial pathogens including Campylobacter jejuni. The role of exopolyphosphatases/guanosine pentaphosphate (pppGpp) phosphohydrolases (PPX/GPPA) in poly-P homeostasis and C. jejuni pathobiology remains unexplored.

Identification, characterization and expression analysis of wheat RSH family genes under abiotic stress [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Guanosine pentaphosphate and guanosine tetraphosphate are collectively called (p)ppGpp (Guanosine tetraphosphate and pentaphosphate). (p)ppGpp content in plants is affected by conditions such as light, salt, pH, UV light, and environmental phytohormones.

Bacterial alarmone (p)ppGpp mediates the pathogenicity of Clavibacter michiganensis via a dual mechanism that affects both enzyme production and the Tat secretion system [PDF]
mSystemsThe gram-positive bacterium Clavibacter michiganensis (Cm) causes bacterial canker of tomato. The infection process of Cm is of considerable interest, and the role of the alarmone guanosine tetraphosphate or pentaphosphate [(p)ppGpp], a global regulator,

Accumulation of guanosine tetraphosphate and guanosine pentaphosphate in Myxococcus xanthus during starvation and myxospore formation [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1980 Cultures of Myxococcus xanthus develop multicellular fruiting bodies when starved for carbon and nitrogen sources on an agar surface. Under these conditions of severe starvation, cultures rapidly accumulated a compound identified as guanosine tetraphosphate by chromatographic migration of the compound and of its major acid and alkali breakdown products.

Purification and properties of ATP:GTP 3'-pyrophosphotransferase (guanosine pentaphosphate synthetase) from Streptomyces antibioticus [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1994 Two forms of ATP:GTP 3'-pyrophosphotransferase (guanosine pentaphosphate synthetase) have been purified from Streptomyces antibioticus. The larger form has an M(r) of 88,000, while the M(r) of a smaller form is 47,000. Both synthetase forms are active in the formation of guanosine 5'-triphosphate, 3'-diphosphate in reaction mixtures containing methanol.
