Convergent sensing pathways mediate response to two extracellular competence factors in Bacillus subtilis.

Genes & development - 1 Mar 1995

Solomon J M, Magnuson R, Srivastava A, Grossman A D

Abstract excerpt

Development of genetic competence in Bacillus subtilis is regulated by extracellular signaling molecules, including the ComX pheromone, a modified 9- or 10-amino-acid peptide. Here, we present characterization of a second extracellular competence stimulating factor (CSF). CSF appears to be, at least in part, a small peptide of between 520 and 720 daltons. Production of CSF requires several genes that are needed...
