Fig 6. Single stranded RNA oligomers do not inhibit the ppGpp-synthesis activities of Sa-RelQ or Sa-RelP.

Fig 6

Plots show the respective effects of adding equimolar amounts of three different single stranded RNA oligomers of equal length [MF, aMF or a 24-mer of random sequence (Random)] on the rate of ppGpp synthesis by Sa-RelQ (Panel A), Sa-RelP (Panel B) or EF-RelQ (Panel C). The inhibitory/stimulatory effects were evaluated as a ‘fold-change’ on ppGpp-synthesis rates versus analogous control reactions performed in the absence of RNA oligomer (Control). The table summarizes the respective ‘fold-change’ in rates of ppGpp-synthesis, calculated as a mean value ± standard deviation. The sequence of the MF and aMF RNA oligomers are identical to those reported previously [47].
