Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on the roles of small (p)ppGpp synthetases YjbM and YwaC in Bacillus subtilis by creating mutant strains that had these genes inducibly expressed using IPTG.
- - While the YjbM-expressing strain showed normal growth under induction, the YwaC strain's growth stopped early during exponential growth, leading to a significant drop in intracellular GTP levels and changes in gene expression.
- - Analysis of ribosomal components from the YwaC strain revealed the presence of 70S ribosome dimers—similar to those seen in E. coli—requiring an additional protein, YvyD, for their formation, as the yvyD-disrupted
