Abstract excerpt
The phosphorylation state of SpoIIAA is a key factor in the regulation of sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. Previous crystallographic studies had led to the conclusion that phosphorylation alters the binding affinity of SpoIIAA for its partner proteins solely through the additional charge and bulk of the phosphoryl group: small structural changes observed elsewhere in the protein were considered to be random...
