Abstract excerpt
The nucleotide sequence of the Bacillus subtilis clpP gene was determined. The predicted protein shows very high similarity to members of the ClpP family of proteolytic subunits (68% amino acid sequence identity with that of Escherichia coli). We show that ClpP plays an essential role in stationary phase adaptive responses. Indeed, a delta clpP mutant was constructed and shown to display a pleiotropic phenotype,...
