Abstract excerpt
The BofC protein acts negatively on intercompartmental signalling of pro-sigma(K) processing in the sigma(K)-checkpoint of Bacillus subtilis. Signalling is brought about by the SpoIVB protein, which is synthesized in the forespore and initiates proteolytic processing of pro-sigmaK to its mature and active form in the opposed mother cell chamber of the developing cell. We have shown here that BofC, like SpoIVB, is...
