Abstract excerpt
A Bacillus subtilis prfB45 mutant grew at 42 degrees C, but its sporulation was severely defective at 37 degrees C. Sporulation-specific induction of kinA, spo0A, and spo0H genes was inhibited in the mutant. The effects of temperature up-shift and down-shift on sporulation of the prfB45 mutant was observed at an early stage of sporulation. UGA readthrough frequency at non-permissive temperatures for sporulation...
