Abstract excerpt
The molecular basis for differences in germinant recognition of Bacillus megaterium QM B1551 spores containing the GerVB and/or GerUB receptor proteins has been examined by site-directed mutagenesis and the construction of cross-homologue chimeras. Focusing on nonconserved residues predicted to reside in transmembrane domains 9 and 10, we demonstrate that GerVB residues Ser319 and Leu345 are of particular...
