The Bacillus cereus GerN and GerT protein homologs have distinct roles in spore germination and outgrowth, respectively.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Sept 2008

Senior Adam, Moir Anne

Abstract excerpt

The GerT protein of Bacillus cereus shares 74% amino acid identity with its homolog GerN. The latter is a Na(+)/H(+)-K(+) antiporter that is required for normal spore germination in inosine. The germination properties of single and double mutants of B. cereus ATCC 10876 reveal that unlike GerN, which is required for all germination responses that involve the GerI germinant receptor, the GerT protein does not have...
