Transcriptional regulation and characteristics of a novel N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase gene involved in Bacillus thuringiensis mother cell lysis.

abstract：:During sporulation in diploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae, spindle pole bodies acquire the so-called meiotic plaque, a prerequisite for spore formation. Mpc70p is a component of the meiotic plaque and is thus essential for spore formation. We show here that MPC70/mpc70 heterozygous strains most often produce two spores i...
