Abstract excerpt
The spo0E locus of Bacillus subtilis codes for a negative regulator of sporulation that, when overproduced, represses sporulation and, if deleted, results in inappropriate timing of sporulation. The product of this locus, Spo0E, was purified and found to be a protein phosphatase, which specifically dephosphorylated the sporulation transcription factor Spo0A-P, converting it to an inactive form. Spo0E was not...
