Abstract excerpt
Mutations in clpP and clpX have pleiotropic effects on growth and developmentally regulated gene expression in Bacillus subtilis. ClpP and ClpX are needed for expression of comK, encoding the competence transcription factor required for the expression of genes within the competence regulon. ClpP, in combination with the ATPase ClpC, degrades the inhibitor of ComK, MecA. Proteolysis of MecA is stimulated by a...
