Effects of Guanosine Tetraphosphate, Guanosine Pentaphosphate, and β-γ Methylenyl-Guanosine Pentaphosphate on Gene Expression of Escherichia coli In Vitro [PDF]
The effects of guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) and guanosine pentaphosphate (pppGpp), both produced by E. coli , were measured on the activities of several genes in a cell-free system. Gene activity is measured as gene-directed synthesis of biochemically competent protein or transfer RNA.

Guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) signalling promotes high-light tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana
Guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) is a hyperphosphorylated nucleotide originally discovered in prokaryotes and found in the chloroplasts of plants and algae.

ppGpp Controls Global Gene Expression in Light and in Darkness in S. elongatus
The bacterial and plant stringent response involves production of the signaling molecules guanosine tetraphosphate and guanosine pentaphosphate ((p)ppGpp), leading to global reorganization of gene expression.

We have examined the intracellular levels of the guanosine tetraphosphate, guanosine 5'-diphosphate 2'- or 3'-diphosphate (ppGpp), in an isogenic pair of stringent and relaxed strains of Escherichia coli. As previously observed, relaxed strains do not accumulate ppGpp during amino acid deprivation, while stringent strains do.

Identification of the Synthesis of Guanosine Tetraphosphate (MS I) as Insertion of a Pyrophosphoryl Group into the 3′-Position in Guanosine 5′-Diphosphate [PDF]
The phosphate transfer system of Haseltine et al. , consisting of a ribosomal wash obtained from a stringent strain of Escherichia coli , washed ribosomes, GTP, and ATP, was used to prepare large quantities of guanosine tetra- and pentaphosphates, the magic spot compounds MS I and MS II of ...

Structural and mechanistic basis for the regulation of the chloroplast signal recognition particle by (p)ppGpp. [PDF]
LHCPs are transported to the thylakoid membrane via the (cp)SRP pathway. This process involves a transit complex of (cp)SRP43, (cp)SRP54 and LHCP, which interacts with (cp)FtsY and Alb3 at the membrane. GTP hydrolysis by (cp)SRP54 and (cp)FtsY triggers complex dissociation.

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