Loss of the plastidial signaling molecule, ppGpp, accumulation alters nuclear gene expression during nitrogen starvation [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
Nitrogen (N) deficiency triggers major transcriptional reprogramming in plants. The chloroplast alarmone, guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) synthesized and hydrolyzed by RelA-SpoT homologs (RSHs), has been proposed to regulate cellular metabolism.

Bacteria export alarmone synthetases that produce (p)ppApp and (p)ppGpp [PDF]

open access: yesmBio
Guanosine penta- and tetraphosphate [(p)ppGpp] and their adenosine analogs [(p)ppApp] are bacterial second messengers known as alarmones. Members of the RelA-SpoT homolog (RSH) family synthesize (p)ppGpp to mediate the stringent response during nutrient ...

Controlled Delivery and Light-Induced Release of Magic Spot Nucleotides in Escherichia coli. [PDF]

open access: yesAngew Chem Int Ed Engl
We synthesized photocaged, clickable and isotope‐labeled “magic spot” Nucleotides and delivered them into Escherichia coli comparing different approaches. Light‐controlled release inside living cells enabled tracking of their conversion from pppGpp to ppGpp by capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry and revealed their impact on the growth rate of a

The 5' Cap Epitranscriptome and Beyond: Natural and Engineered 5' Cap Modifications for Optimizing mRNA Therapeutics and Functional Studies. [PDF]

open access: yesChemMedChem
5′ Cap modifications can be introduced via enzymes or chemical synthesis. Natural and non‐natural 5′ cap structures affect mRNA properties, including translation (T), stability (S), and/or immunogenicity (I). Eukaryotic mRNAs made by in vitro transcription have emerged as medical modalities for vaccination and protein replacement therapy. The 5′ cap is

Identification, characterization and expression analysis of wheat RSH family genes under abiotic stress

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Putative Nucleotide-Based Second Messengers in the Archaeal Model Organisms Haloferax volcanii and Sulfolobus acidocaldarius

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Research on nucleotide-based second messengers began in 1956 with the discovery of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (3′,5′-cAMP) by Earl Wilbur Sutherland and his co-workers.

Functional Characterization of Small Alarmone Synthetase and Small Alarmone Hydrolase Proteins from Treponema denticola

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
The stringent response enables bacteria to survive nutrient starvation, antibiotic challenge, and other threats to cellular survival. Two alarmone (magic spot) second messengers, guanosine pentaphosphate (pppGpp) and guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp ...

The Elongation Factor Tu · Guanosine Tetraphosphate Complex [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 1981
The elongation factor Tu (EF‐Tu) isolated from Escherichia coli cells that have undergone the stringent response is predominantly complexed with guanosine 5′‐diphosphate 3′‐diphosphate. This complex can be separated by anion‐exchange chromatography from EF‐Tu · GDP‐ Unlike EF‐Tu complexed with guanosine 5′‐triphosphate 3′‐diphosphate, the complex with ...
