    Phenotypes of a mutant

  • requirement for valine [Pubmed|24163341]
  • a ''[protein|search|relA] [protein|search|sasA] [protein|search|sasB]'' triple mutant requires branched chain amino acids, methionine and threonine for growth, the requirement can be suppressed by reduced expression of ''[protein|search|guaB]'' or inactivation of ''[protein|search|codY]'' [Pubmed|24163341]
  • a ''[protein|search|relA] [protein|search|sasA] [protein|search|sasB]'' triple mutant acquires suppressor mutations in ''[protein|search|guaA], [protein|search|guaB], [protein|search|gmk]'' or inactivation of ''[protein|search|codY]'' [Pubmed|24682323,24163341]
  • mutation in ''[protein|search|relA]'' results in increased motility and chaining [Pubmed|25331430]
  • ''[protein|search|relA]'' mutation increases flagellin production via elevated [protein|search|SigD] level [Pubmed|25331430]
  • The protein

    Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

  • ATP GTP = AMP guanosine 3'-diphosphate 5'-triphosphate (according to Swiss-Prot)
  • Protein family

  • relA/spoT family (according to Swiss-Prot)
  • [SW|Domains]

  • N-terminal ppGpp hydrolase domain [Pubmed|24163341]
  • central ppGpp synthetase domain [Pubmed|24163341]
  • Effectors of protein activity

  • the interaction with [SW|ComGA] inhibits the hydrolysis of ppGpp [Pubmed|25899641]
  • Structure

  • [PDB|1VJ7] (N-terminal catalytic fragment, from ''Streptococcus equisimilis'', 60% identity) [Pubmed|15066282]
  • [SW|Interactions]

  • [protein|search|RelA]-[SW|ComGA], required for the inhibition of rRNA synthesis in the K-state [Pubmed|25899641]
  • Expression and Regulation

    Operon

  • ''[protein|search|relA]-[protein|search|dtd]'' [Pubmed|9383190]
  • Biological materials

    Mutant

  • ''[protein|search|relA]'' mutant [Pubmed|9383190] - note that ''[protein|search|relA]'' mutants are prone to suppressor mutations in the ''[protein|search|ywaC]'' or ''[protein|search|yjbM]'' loci [Pubmed|18670626]
