The primary role of comA in establishment of the competent state in Bacillus subtilis is to activate expression of srfA.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Nov 1991

Nakano M M, Zuber P

Abstract excerpt

The establishment of genetic competence in Bacillus subtilis requires the genes of the competence regulon which function in the binding, processing, and transport of DNA. Their expression is governed by multiple regulatory pathways that are composed of the comA, comP, sin, abrB, spo0H, spo0K, spo0A, degU, and srfA gene products. Among these, srfA is thought to occupy an intermediate position in one of the...
