Abstract excerpt
During sporulation, Bacillus subtilis undergoes an asymmetric division that results in two cells with different fates, the larger mother cell and the smaller forespore. The protein phosphatase SpoIIE, which is required for activation of the forespore-specific transcription factor sigma(F), is also required for optimal efficiency and timing of asymmetric division. We performed a genetic screen for spoIIE mutants...
