Abstract excerpt
The SpoIIID protein of Bacillus subtilis (Bs) is a small DNA-binding protein that is essential for gene expression of the mother cell compartment during sporulation. We have cloned a DNA fragment from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) that showed a specific hybridization with the Bs spoIIID gene. Sequence analysis found an open reading frame encoding 90 amino acids (aa), which are 89% identical to the deduced aa...
