Abstract excerpt
Endospore formation in Bacillus subtilis is primarily dependent on the phosphorylation of the key transcription factor Spo0A by two major kinases, KinA and KinB, thought to be activated by distinct signals. Using a strategy designed to detect mutations that specifically affect the signalling pathway to KinB, we have isolated a Tn10 insertion mutant in one of two adjacent lrp-like genes coding for homologues of...
