Effects of mecA and mecB (clpC) mutations on expression of sigD, which encodes an alternative sigma factor, and autolysin operons and on flagellin synthesis in Bacillus subtilis.

Abstract excerpt

The expression of the major vegetative phase-specific autolysin genes (cwlB [lytC] and cwlG [lytD]) was greatly reduced by mecA and mecB null mutations. In contrast to the negative effects on late competence genes (such as comG) and levansucrase gene (sacB) expression, this positive effect of mec...
