FtsA mutants of Bacillus subtilis impaired in sporulation.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jul 2002

Kemp Jennifer T, Driks Adam, Losick Richard

Abstract excerpt

Spore formation in Bacillus subtilis involves a switch in the site of cell division from the midcell to a polar position. Both medial division and polar division are mediated in part by the actin-like, cytokinetic protein FtsA. We report the isolation of an FtsA mutant (FtsA(D265G)) that is defective in sporulation but is apparently unimpaired in vegetative growth. Sporulating cells of the mutant reach the stage...
