Abstract excerpt
The Bacillus subtilis YlbO protein is a Myb-like DNA binding domain-containing protein that is expressed under the control of SigE. Here, we analyzed gene expression and protein composition in ylbO-negative cells. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that the protein profile of ylbO- negative spores differed from that of wild-type. Specifically, the expression of coat proteins CgeA, CotG, and CotY, which are controlled by...
