Abstract

The small molecule (p)ppGpp is commonly produced by bacteria as a signal of nutrient starvation. Here, Ronneau et al. show that (p)ppGpp accumulation in the model bacterium Caulobacter crescentusis modulated by a nitrogen-related phosphotransferase system in response to glutamine deprivation.
