Studies of the processing of the protease which initiates degradation of small, acid-soluble proteins during germination of spores of Bacillus species.

Abstract excerpt

Three mutant forms of the protease (GPR) that initiates degradation of small, acid-soluble spore proteins (SASP) during germination of spores of Bacillus species have been generated. In one variant (GPR delta), the putative pro sequence removed in conversion of the GPR zymogen (termed P46) to the active enzyme (termed P41) was deleted. GPR delta was expressed in both Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis as a...
