The bacterial translation stress response.
Throughout their life, bacteria need to sense and respond to environmental stress. Thus, such stress responses can require dramatic cellular reprogramming, both at the transcriptional as well as the translational level. This review focuses on the protein factors that interact with the bacterial translational apparatus to respond to and cope with different types of environmental stress. For exam...
متن کاملStochastic pulse regulation in bacterial stress response.
Gene regulatory circuits can use dynamic, and even stochastic, strategies to respond to environmental conditions. We examined activation of the general stress response mediated by the alternative sigma factor, σ(B), in individual Bacillus subtilis cells. We observed that energy stress activates σ(B) in discrete stochastic pulses, with increasing levels of stress leading to higher pulse frequenc...
متن کاملPlaying TAG with a Bacterial Stress Response
Tuberculosis is an age-old scourge of mankind. This chronic disease is caused by a bacterium, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which sets up an initial infection in its victims’ lungs. Although the infection can spread to other organs, its most common symptoms are a painful and debilitating cough combined with difficulty breathing. Tuberculosis remains a major public health threat because even the b...
متن کاملAlterations of the translation apparatus during aging and stress response
Aging is a biological process characterized by the irreversible and time-dependent deterioration of cell functions, tissues, and organs. Accumulating studies in a wide range of species from yeast to human revealed changes associated with the aging process to be conserved throughout evolution. The main characteristics of aging are (i) genomic instability, (ii) loss of telomere function, (iii) ep...
متن کاملAntitoxin MqsA Helps Mediate the Bacterial General Stress Response
Although it is well recognized that bacteria respond to environmental stress through global networks, the mechanism by which stress is relayed to the interior of the cell is poorly understood. Here we show that enigmatic toxin-antitoxin systems are vital in mediating the environmental stress response. Specifically, the antitoxin MqsA represses rpoS, which encodes the master regulator of stress....
