Abstract excerpt
The spoIIE gene is essential for the compartment-specific activation of transcription factor sigmaF during sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. SpoIIE is a membrane protein that is targeted to the potential sites of asymmetric septation near each pole of the sporulating cell. The cytoplasmic carboxy...
