I. Bagyan et al., A COMPARTMENTALIZED REGULATOR OF DEVELOPMENTAL GENE-EXPRESSION IN BACILLUS-SUBTILIS, Journal of bacteriology, 178(15), 1996, pp. 4500-4507
We have identified a new Bacillus subtilis gene, spoVT, whose gene pro
duct is homologous to the transcriptional regulator AbrB and serves as
a regulator of E sigma(G)-controlled gene expression. SpoVT acts both
positively and negatively in controlling sigma(G)-dependent gene expr
ession, providing an additional level of refinement to forespore gene
regulation and feedback control of spoIIIG expression.
