Procaryotes have regulatory systems allowing to vary the metabolism in response to nutritional variations, to reduce the growth, and to start development. Nucleoside polyphosphates are mediators of coordinated alterations of metabolism. In this review, after a brief recall of the characteristics of the stringent response, the occurrence, determinations, and the metabolism of the nucleoside polyphosphates are presented. The representation of the pleiotropic effects includes the regulation of the protein synthesis and of the protein synthesis apparatus, of the protein turnover, of the N‐ and carbohydrate metabolism, of the formation of cell membranes and cell walls as well as the possible function of the development.
