Abstract excerpt
SigmaE, a sporulation-specific sigma factor of Bacillus subtilis, is formed from an inactive precursor (pro-sigmaE) by a developmentally regulated processing reaction that removes 27 amino acids from the proprotein's amino terminus. A sigE variant (sigE335) lacking 15 amino acids of the prosequence is not processed into mature sigmaE but is active without processing. In the present work, we investigated the...
