  • ATP:GTP 3'-pyrophosphotransferase
  • Stringent response-like protein
  • ppGpp synthase II

Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in catalytic activity
Specific Function:In eubacteria ppGpp (guanosine 3'-diphosphate 5-' diphosphate) is a mediator of the stringent response that coordinates a variety of cellular activities in response to changes in nutritional abundance. This enzyme catalyzes both the synthesis and degradation of ppGpp. The second messengers ppGpp and c-di-GMP together control biofilm formation in response to translational stress; ppGpp represses biofilm formation while c- di-GMP induces it
Cellular Location:Cytoplasm.
