abstract：:SpoVM is an unusually small (26-residue-long) protein that is produced in the mother cell chamber of the sporangium during the process of sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. We investigated the subcellular localization of SpoVM, which is believed to be an amphipathic alpha-helix, by using a fusion of the sporulation pro...
