Mutational analysis of ComS: evidence for the interaction of ComS and MecA in the regulation of competence development in Bacillus subtilis.

Molecular microbiology - 1 May 1999

Ogura M, Liu L, Lacelle M, Nakano M M, Zuber P

Abstract excerpt

The development of Bacillus subtilis genetic competence is a highly regulated adaptive response to stationary-phase stress. A key step in competence development is the activation of the transcriptional regulator ComK, which is required for the expression of genes encoding the products that function in DNA uptake. In log-phase cultures, ComK is trapped in a complex composed of MecA and ClpC, in which it is...
