Abstract excerpt

SigmaE is a mother cell-specific transcription factor of sporulating Bacillus subtilis that is derived from an inactive precursor protein (pro-sigmaE). To examine the process that prevents sigmaE activity from developing in the forespore, we fused the sigmaE structural gene (sigE) to forespore-sp...
