A feeding tube model for activation of a cell-specific transcription factor during sporulation in Bacillus subtilis.

Genes & development - 15 Apr 2009

Camp Amy H, Losick Richard

Abstract excerpt

Spore formation by Bacillus subtilis takes place in a sporangium consisting of two chambers, the forespore and the mother cell, which are linked by pathways of intercellular communication. One pathway, which couples the activation of the forespore transcription factor sigma(G) to the action of sigma(E) in the mother cell, has remained mysterious. Traditional models hold that sigma(E) initiates a signal...
