Two-stage regulation of an anti-sigma factor determines developmental fate during bacterial endospore formation.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Sept 1996

Kellner E M, Decatur A, Moran C P

Abstract excerpt

During endospore formation in Bacillus subtilis an asymmetric division produces two cells, forespore and mother cell, which follow different developmental paths. Commitment to the forespore-specific developmental path is controlled in part by the activation of the forespore-specific RNA polymerase sigma factor, sigma F. Activity of sigma F is inhibited in the mother cell by the anti-sigma factor SpoIIAB. In the...
