Abstract excerpt
The small 3 kDa SpoVM protein is essential for development of the spore in Bacillus subtilis. Genetic and biochemical experiments have shown that the function of SpoVM is to inhibit the proteolytic activity of FtsH during sporulation. We have used a combination of genetic and biophysical techniques to characterise the role of this small polypeptide. SpoVM was found to be widespread in Bacillus as well as in two...
