BofC encodes a putative forespore regulator of the Bacillus subtilis sigma K checkpoint.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Jan 1997

Gomez Manuel, Cutting Simon M

Abstract excerpt

A mutation, bofC1, that restores sigma K activation in Bacillus subtilis strains unable to produce active sigma G has been identified. This mutation defines a new sporulation gene, bofC, that has been cloned and sequenced and encodes a 19 kDa protein. bofC is transcribed in the forespore by RNA polymerase associated with the transcription factors sigma F (E sigma F) and sigma G (E sigma G). BofC acts negatively...
