Question
Chapter 7.11, Problem 1CR
Summary Introduction
The stringent response is otherwise known as the stringent control. It is a stress response of microorganisms that occurs during the heat shock, starvation of amino acids, limitation of fatty acid and iron and other stress conditions. The process of ribosome stalling induces the stringent response pathway. Signaling from the alarmone (p) ppGpp is responsible for the stringent response.
