Proteins YlaJ and YhcN contribute to the efficiency of spore germination in Bacillus subtilis.

FEMS microbiology letters - 1 Apr 2017

Johnson Christian L, Moir Anne

Abstract excerpt

The YlaJ and YhcN spore lipoproteins of Bacillus subtilis contain a common domain, and are of unknown function. Homologues of YlaJ or YhcN are widespread in Bacilli and are also encoded in those Clostridia that use cortex lytic enzymes SleB and CwlJ for cortex hydrolysis during germination. In B. subtilis, we report that single and double mutants lacking YlaJ and/or YhcN show a reduced rate of spore germination...
