Polyphosphate kinase 2: a novel determinant of stress responses and pathogenesis in Campylobacter jejuni.
BACKGROUND: Inorganic polyphosphate (poly P) plays an important role in stress tolerance and virulence in many bacteria. PPK1 is the principal enzyme involved in poly P synthesis, while PPK2 uses poly P to generate GTP, a signaling molecule that serves as an alternative energy source and a precursor...
