Stevens C M, Errington J
Abstract excerpt
The gene spoIIID, which is essential for spore formation in Bacillus subtilis, was cloned and sequenced. It consists of one open reading frame which would encode a 93-amino-acid protein with a classic helix-turn-helix motif, characteristic of sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins. SpoIIID protein is a previously identified transcription factor, capable of altering the specificity of RNA polymerase containing...
