title: Streptomyces nucleotide 3'-pyrophosphokinase are insensitive to stringent control.
abstract: The synthesis of GTP- and ATP-3'-pyrophosphate by Streptomyces morookaensis nucleotide 3'-pyrophosphokinase was little affected by the presence of a ribosome-deacylated tRNA-poly A, G, U mixture in vitro. The Streptomyces pyrophosphokinases thus do not appear, unlike bacterial stringent factors, to play a significant role in the cellular stringent control.
