Gut microbiota signatures distinguish chronic constipated patients from healthy individuals, supporting noninvasive diagnostic potential. Despite challenges in identifying psychiatric‐related comorbidities, microbial alterations, particularly in neurotransmitter and inflammatory pathways, lay the groundwork for future companion diagnostics and ...

ABSTRACT All organisms must be able to sense and respond to adverse environments, especially those that threaten cellular integrity. The age of genomics clarified the breadth and specificity of cellular stress responses, including in free‐living microbes directly exposed to a changing environment.

Basal Levels of (p)ppGpp in
The stringent response (SR), mediated by the alarmone (p)ppGpp, is a conserved bacterial adaptation system controlling broad metabolic alterations necessary for survival under adverse conditions.

Survival of the Fittest: The Relationship of (p)ppGpp With Bacterial Virulence
The signaling nucleotide (p)ppGpp has been the subject of intense research in the past two decades. Initially discovered as the effector molecule of the stringent response, a bacterial stress response that reprograms cell physiology during amino acid ...

A chromosomal mutation allows bypass of deletion of the Escherichia coli fabH gene. The bypass results from creation of a new promoter that drives increased madA transcription, resulting in increased synthesis of acetyl‐acyl carrier protein by decarboxylation of malonyl‐acyl carrier protein.

(p)ppGpp and the bacterial cell cycle
Genes of the Rel/Spo homolog (RSH) superfamily synthesize and/or hydrolyse the modified nucleotides pppGpp/ ppGpp (collectively referred to as (p)ppGpp) and are prevalent across diverse bacteria and in plant chloroplasts. Bacteria accumulate (p)ppGpp in response to nutrient deprivation (generically called the stringent response) and elicit appropriate ...

De novo or Salvage? Nucleotide Availability as a Driver of Bacterial Adaptation and Virulence
Bacterial pathogens survive in different host environments by switching between making nucleotides by de novo synthesis and scavenging them from the host. This flexibility supports growth and virulence making nucleotide metabolism an attractive therapeutic target.

Stringent response plays an important role in the response of Enterobacteriaceae pathogens to rapid environmental changes. It has been shown that synergistic and antagonistic actions exist between the signaling molecules (p)ppGpp and DksA in several ...

Regulation of ς factor competition by the alarmone ppGpp [PDF]
Many regulons controlled by alternative ς factors, including ς S and ς 32 , are poorly induced in cells lacking the alarmone ppGpp. We show that ppGpp is not absolutely required for the activity of ς S -dependent ...
