AbstractInorganic polyphosphate (poly-P), guanosine pentaphosphate (pppGpp) and guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) are present within all bacterial cells. These molecules play a variety of important physiological roles; especially regarding stress resistance, virulence and biofilm formation. In E. coli, distinct exopolyphosphatase (Ppx) and guanosine pentaphosphate hydrolase (Gppa) enzymes accept both poly-P and pppGpp as substrates. However, in many bacterial species, the enzymes responsible for poly-P and pppGpp hydrolysis remain to be established. The Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome has no apparent ppx gene, but encodes two putative Gppa-ppx homologues: Rv0496 and Rv1026, whose functions have not yet been characterized ...
