Guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) signalling promotes high-light tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana

open access: yes
Guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) is a hyperphosphorylated nucleotide originally discovered in prokaryotes and found in the chloroplasts of plants and algae.

Contributions of SpoT Hydrolase, SpoT Synthetase, and RelA Synthetase to Carbon Source Diauxic Growth Transitions in Escherichia coli

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
During the diauxic shift, Escherichia coli exhausts glucose and adjusts its expression pattern to grow on a secondary carbon source. Transcriptional profiling studies of glucose–lactose diauxic transitions reveal a key role for ppGpp. The amount of ppGpp

Crucial Role of ppGpp in the Resilience of Escherichia coli to Growth Disruption

open access: yesmSphere, 2020
Bacteria grow in constantly changing environments that can suddenly become completely depleted of essential nutrients. The stringent response, a rewiring of the cellular metabolism mediated by the alarmone (p)ppGpp, plays a crucial role in adjusting ...

Epitranscriptomics as a Candidate Universal Modulator of Dormancy Transitions

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Dormancy is presented as a conserved, reversible survival program in which epitranscriptomic RNA modifications are proposed to provide a rapid, energy‐efficient layer that establishes, maintains, and terminates the state by modulating mRNA stability, translation, and localization.

Selective fluorescent chemosensor for the bacterial alarmone (p)ppGpp

open access: yes, 2015
We have developed the first selective fluorescent chemosensor (PyDPA) for (p)ppGpp, a bacterial and plant alarmone. By using pyrene-excimer fluorescence, PyDPA shows very good selectivity for (p)ppGpp from among other nucleotides in water. PyDPA was used

Nanomedicine Strategies Against Biofilm‐Associated Infections: Advances, Challenges, and Translational Barriers

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 1, February 2026.
Explore the key challenges and limitations in nanomedicine for biofilm treatment, from drug loading efficiency to antimicrobial resistance. ABSTRACT Antimicrobial resistance continues to rise globally, with biofilm‐associated infections intensifying the clinical burden through persistent tolerance to antibiotics and evasion of immune responses ...

The Study of a Novel (p)ppGpp Synthase (YwaC) from Bacillus subtilis 168

open access: yes, 2008
Adaptation to any undesirable change in the environment helps to ensure the survival of many microorganisms. During nutrient starvation, bacteria undergo a stringent response characterized by the accumulation of the alarmone (p)ppGpp.

A comprehensive analysis of (p)ppGpp signaling in bacteria

open access: yes
(p)ppGpp is a signaling molecule produced by bacteria in response to stresses, particularly amino acid starvation. RelA/SpoT homolog (RSH) enzymes synthesize (p)ppGpp when an uncharged tRNA enters an actively translating ribosome, stalling protein ...

Galleria mellonella as an alternative infection model for Yersinia pseudotuberculosis

open access: yes, 2009
We report that larvae of the wax moth (Galleria mellonella) are susceptible to infection with the human enteropathogen Yersinia pseudotuberculosis at 37 degrees C. Confocal microscopy demonstrated that in the initial stages of infection the bacteria were
