Abstract excerpt
The Bacillus subtilis BceAB ABC transporter involved in a defense mechanism against bacitracin is composed of a membrane-spanning domain and a nucleotide-binding domain. Induction of the structural bceAB genes requires the BceR response regulator and the BceS histidine kinase of a signal transduction system. However, despite the presence of such a transduction system and of bacitracin, no transcription from an...
