physiological function | in vivo, under relaxed conditions, as well as in vitro, the C-terminal regulatory domain CTD inhibits synthetase activity but is not required for hydrolase activity. Under stringent conditions, the CTD is essential for (p)ppGpp synthesis. A mutant lacking the CTD exhibits net hydrolase activity when expressed in Staphylococcus aureus but net (p)ppGpp synthetase activity when expressed in Escherichia coli. The conserved TGS and DC motifs within the CTD are required for correct stringent response, whereas the conserved ACT motif is dispensable. The enzyme primarily exists in a synthetase-off/hydrolase-on state | Staphylococcus aureus |
