The wonderful dynamics of (p)ppGpp, big thank you to everyone involved with this story

Happy to share our lastest story about the Stringent Response ! We show how host-relevant stress disrupts Fe-S cluster stability, tuning (p)ppGpp levels to control bacterial adaptation and trigger virulence.

Stress-Induced Iron-Sulfur Cluster Damage as a Conserved Trigger of the Stringent Response
Pathogenic bacteria rely on the stringent response to adapt to the complex and fluctuating conditions encountered within the host. However, the mechanisms by which the stringent response senses host-i...
