Transglutaminase-mediated cross-linking of GerQ in the coats of Bacillus subtilis spores.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Sept 2004

Ragkousi Katerina, Setlow Peter

Abstract excerpt

The spores of Bacillus subtilis show remarkable resistance to many environmental stresses, due in part to the presence of an outer proteinaceous structure known as the spore coat. GerQ is a spore coat protein essential for the presence of CwlJ, an enzyme involved in the hydrolysis of the cortex during spore germination, in the spore coat. Here we show that GerQ is cross-linked into higher-molecular-mass forms due...
