Abstract excerpt
The phosphorylated form of the response regulator Spo0A (Spo0A~P) is required for the initiation of sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. Phosphate is transferred to Spo0A from at least four histidine kinases (KinA, KinB, KinC, and KinD) by a phosphotransfer pathway composed of Spo0F and Spo0B. Several mutations in spo0A allow initiation of sporulation in the absence of spo0F and spo0B, but the mechanisms by which...
