Biological functions of glucolipids in Bacillus subtilis.

Genes & genetic systems - 10 Apr 2018

Matsuoka Satoshi

Abstract excerpt

Glyceroglycolipids are very important in Gram-positive bacteria and cyanobacteria. In Bacillus subtilis, a model organism for the Gram-positive bacteria, the ugtP mutant, which lacks glyceroglucolipids, shows abnormal morphology. Lack of glucolipids has many consequences: abnormal localization of the cytoskeletal protein MreB and activation of some extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factors (σM, σV and σX) in...
