The Microbiome as a Mirror: Distinguishing Healthy Individuals From Chronic Constipated Patients and Identifying Those With Hidden Psychiatric Burden

open access: yesMicrobiota Medicine Research, EarlyView.
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 ...

Twenty‐Five Years of the Environmental Stress Response and the Enduring Power of Yeast in Stress Biology

open access: yesYeast, EarlyView.
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 Enterococcus faecalis: the Magic beyond the Stringent Response

open access: yesmBio, 2013
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
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 Single‐Nucleotide Substitution Generates a de Novo Promoter That Activates a Latent Metabolic Bypass in Escherichia coli

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
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.

Two (p)ppGpp Synthetase Genes, relA and spoT, Are Involved in Regulating Cell Motility, Exopolysaccharides Production, and Biofilm Formation of Vibrio alginolyticus

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The stringent response mediated by the signal molecule (p)ppGpp is involved in response to multiple environmental stresses and control of various physiological processes.

(p)ppGpp and the bacterial cell cycle

open access: yesJournal of Biosciences, 2016
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

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
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.

Similar and Divergent Roles of Stringent Regulator (p)ppGpp and DksA on Pleiotropic Phenotype of Yersinia enterocolitica

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
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]

open access: yesGenes & Development, 2002
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 ...
