Structure-function analysis of the Bacillus megaterium GerUD spore germinant receptor protein.

FEMS microbiology letters - 1 Dec 2015

Gupta Srishti, Zhou Ke Xu, Bailey David M D, Christie Graham

Abstract excerpt

Germination of Bacillus spores is triggered by the interaction of germinant molecules with specialized receptor proteins localized to the spore inner membrane. Germinant receptors (GRs) are comprised typically of three interacting protein subunits, each of which is essential for receptor function. At least some GRs appear to have a fourth component, referred to as a D-subunit protein. A number of D-subunit...
