Abstract excerpt
Formation of the asymmetrically located septum during sporulation of Bacillus subtilis results in enclosure of the origin-proximal 30% of the chromosome in the prespore compartment. The rest of the chromosome is then translocated into the prespore from the mother cell. Transcription of spoIIR is initiated in the prespore by RNA polymerase containing sigma(F) soon after the septum is formed. The SpoIIR protein is...
