Different roles for KinA, KinB, and KinC in the initiation of sporulation in Bacillus subtilis.

Abstract:

:Activation (phosphorylation) of the transcription factor encoded by spo0A is essential for the initiation of sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. At least three histidine protein kinases are involved in the phosphorylation of Spo0A. Under some growth conditions, KinA was the primary kinase, but under other conditions, KinB had the more critical role. KinC was required for the initial activation of Spo0A, even in the presence of KinA and KinB.

  • Linker mutagenesis of the Caulobacter crescentus S-layer protein: toward a definition of an N-terminal anchoring region and a C-terminal secretion signal and the potential for heterologous protein secretion.

    abstract::Linker insertion mutagenesis was used to modify the paracrystalline surface layer (S-layer) protein (RsaA) of the gram-negative bacterium Caulobacter crescentus. Eleven unique BamHI linker insertions in the cloned rsaA gene were identified; at the protein level, these linker insertions introduced 4 to 6 amino acids at...
