The stringent response is a conserved bacterial stress response mechanism that allows bacteria to respond to nutritional challenges. It is mediated by the alarmones pppGpp and ppGpp, nucleotides that are synthesized and hydrolyzed by members of the RSH superfamily. Whilst there are key differences in the binding targets for (p) ppGpp between Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial species, the transient accumulation of (p) ppGpp caused by nutritional stresses results in a global change in gene expression in all species. The RSH superfamily of enzymes is ubiquitous throughout the bacterial kingdom, and can be split into three main groups: the long-RSH enzymes; the small alarmone synthetases (SAS); and the small alarmone hydrolases (SAH). Despite the prevalence of these enzymes, there are important differences in the way in which they are regulated on a transcriptional and post-translational level. Here we provide an overview of the diverse regulatory mechanisms that are involved in governing this crucial signalling network. Understanding how the RSH superfamily members are regulated gives insights into the varied important biological roles for this signalling pathway across the bacteria.
