Foulger D, Errington J
Abstract excerpt
The spoIIAB gene of Bacillus subtilis encodes an inhibitor of sigma F, a transcription factor that plays a crucial role in the establishment of prespore-specific gene expression during sporulation. The SpoIIAB protein can probably also inhibit a closely related sigma factor sigma G, which determi...
