Abstract excerpt
A family of 11 phosphatases can help to modulate the activity of response regulator proteins in Bacillus subtilis. Downstream of seven of the rap (phosphatase) genes are phr genes, encoding secreted peptides that function as phosphatase regulators. By using fusions to lacZ and primer extension analysis, we found that six of the seven phr genes are controlled by the alternate sigma factor sigma-H. These results...
