Abstract excerpt
We present studies on the regulation of a developmental gene (spoIVB) whose product is required at a late stage of morphogenesis during the process of sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. Earlier work implicated the spoIVB gene product in a signal-transduction pathway that governs the conversion of pro-sigma K to the mature and active form of the mother cell sigma factor, sigma K, in response to a signal generated...
