Physiologically relevant small phosphodonors link metabolism to signal transduction
Open accessAbstract
Recent reports support the long-standing hypothesis that acetyl phosphate, a physiologically relevant small molecule, can serve as a phosphoryl donor to a subset of two-component response regulators that regulate diverse cellular processes. Since acetyl phosphate is a central metabolite, this ability would link nutritional status to global signaling. This review will first introduce acetyl phosphate and its pathway. It will then summarize the most compelling evidence supporting the hypothesis and list predicted properties of an acetyl phosphate-sensitive pathway. Next, it will describe emerging evidence that acetyl phosphate and/or its pathway can influence diverse cellular processes across a broad spectrum of bacteria. Finally, the review will explore the possibility that other metabolites can function in a capacity similar to acetyl phosphate.

ATP is universal across lineages but is not the sole energy currency within the metabolism of individual cells.
“However, while ATP is universal across lineages, it is not the sole energy currency within the metabolism of individual cells by any means [80].”
From Early bioenergetic evolution (2013) · cites this paper as [80]
The Introduction says that E. coli cells maintain acetyl phosphate as an energy-storage molecule and that its bond stores more energy than ATP, supporting the point that ATP is not the only cellular energy carrier. The paper does not establish that ATP is universal across lineages; its discussion here concerns bacterial examples. No page number is available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn many microbes, acetyl-CoA is enzymatically cleaved via phosphorolysis to yield acetyl phosphate.
“In a plethora of microbes, acetyl-CoA is enzymatically cleaved via phosphorolysis to yield acetyl phosphate [79,80], which, with its high free energy of hydrolysis (ΔG°′) of –43 kJ mol−1, can phosphorylate any number of substrates, including ADP to generate ATP, with a free energy of hydrolysis (ΔG°′) of –31 kJ mol−1.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
