Guanosine penta- or tetraphosphate (known as (p)ppGpp) serves as second messenger to respond to nutrient downshift and other environmental stresses, a phenomenon called stringent response. Accumulation of (p)ppGpp promotes the coordinated inhibition of macromolecule synthesis, as well as the activation of stress response pathways to cope and adapt to harmful conditions. In , the (p)ppGpp level is tightly regulated by two enzymes, the (p)ppGpp synthetase RelA and the bifunctional synthetase/hydrolase SpoT. We recently identified the small protein YtfK as a key regulator of SpoT-mediated activation of stringent response in . Here, we further characterized the regulation of . We observed that is subjected to catabolite repression and is positively regulated by the cyclic AMP (cAMP)-cAMP receptor protein (CRP) complex. Importantly, YtfK contributes to SpoT-dependent accumulation of (p)ppGpp and cell survival in response to glucose starvation. Therefore, regulation of by the cAMP-CRP appears important to adjust (p)ppGpp level and coordinate cellular metabolism in response to glucose availability.
鸟苷五磷酸或四磷酸(称为(p)ppGpp)作为第二信使来应对营养物质减少和其他环境压力,这一现象称为严紧反应。(p)ppGpp的积累促进了对大分子合成的协同抑制,以及激活应激反应途径以应对和适应有害条件。在[具体生物]中,(p)ppGpp水平由两种酶严格调控,即(p)ppGpp合成酶RelA和双功能合成酶/水解酶SpoT。我们最近鉴定出小蛋白YtfK是[具体生物]中SpoT介导的严紧反应激活的关键调节因子。在此,我们进一步表征了[具体生物]的调控。我们观察到[具体生物]受到分解代谢物阻遏,并且受到环腺苷酸(cAMP)-cAMP受体蛋白(CRP)复合物的正调控。重要的是,YtfK有助于SpoT依赖的(p)ppGpp积累以及细胞在葡萄糖饥饿时的存活。因此,cAMP-CRP对[具体生物]的调控对于调节(p)ppGpp水平和协调细胞代谢以响应葡萄糖可用性似乎很重要。
