A conjugation-like mechanism for prespore chromosome partitioning during sporulation in Bacillus subtilis.

Genes & development - 1 Jun 1995

Wu L J, Lewis P J, Allmansberger R, Hauser P M, Errington J

Abstract excerpt

Spore formation in Bacillus subtilis begins with an asymmetric cell division that superficially resembles the division of vegetative cells. Mutations in the spoIIIE gene of B. subtilis partially block partitioning of one chromosome into the smaller (prespore) compartment of the sporulating cell. Point mutations that specifically block prespore chromosome partitioning affect a carboxy-terminal domain of SpoIIIE...
