Abstract excerpt

Bacillus subtilis Spo0A activates transcription from both sigmaA- and sigmaH-dependent promoters. Baldus et al. (2) identified two amino acid substitutions in the carboxyl terminus of sigmaA, K356E and H359R, that specifically impaired Spo0A-activated transcription in vivo. To test the model in w...
