comK acts as an autoregulatory control switch in the signal transduction route to competence in Bacillus subtilis.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Sept 1994

van Sinderen D, Venema G

Abstract excerpt

The comK gene is a regulatory transcription unit which is essential for the development of genetic competence in Bacillus subtilis. The transcription of comK is under strict nutritional and growth phase-dependent control and has been shown to depend on the gene products of comA and srfA. In this report, we show that expression of comK is dependent on its own gene product as well as on the gene products of all...
