Abstract excerpt
The DNA-binding protein GerE acts as both a repressor and an activator of transcription of genes transcribed by sigma(K)-RNA polymerase (RNA-P) during the later stages of endospore formation in Bacillus subtilis. GerE represses transcription from the sigK promoter, and activates transcription from other promoters, including cotC and cotX. Two different regions of GerE (AR1 and AR2) are required for activation of...
