Abstract excerpt
During sporulation in Bacillus subtilis, the prespore-specific developmental program is initiated soon after asymmetric division of the sporangium by the compartment-specific activation of RNA polymerase sigma factor sigma(F). sigma(F) directs transcription of spoIIIG, encoding the late forespore-specific regulator sigma(G). Following synthesis, sigma(G) is initially kept in an inactive form, presumably because...
