Abstract excerpt
Immunofluorescence microscopy was used to study the establishment of compartment-specific transcription during sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. Analysis of the distribution of the anti-anti-sigma factor, SpoIIAA, in a variety of mutant backgrounds supports a model in which the SpoIIE phosphatase, which activates SpoIIAA by dephosphorylation, is sequestered onto the prespore face of the asymmetric septum. Thus,...
