Abstract excerpt
The Spo0A protein of Bacillus subtilis is a transcriptional regulator that shows extensive homology to the regulator proteins in bacterial two-component regulatory systems. Phosphorylation of Spo0A is absolutely necessary for the initiation of sporulation. We now show that phospho-Spo0A is a dime...
