Function
Stringent starvation protein A (SspA) is an RNA polymerase-associated protein involved in nucleotide metabolism acid tolerance and virulence of bacteria[1].
In Francisella virulence, a set of regulators are essensial for its activation. These regulators include the heterdimer of SspA, macrophage growth locus A (MglA) and pathogenicity island gene regulator (PigR). The guanosine-tetraphosphate (ppGpp) is also involved in coordinating the virulence.
