Abstract
Sporulation-specific sigma factor E (sigma(E)) of Bacillus subtilis is both necessary and sufficient for transcription of the dacB gene, whi ch encodes penicillin-binding protein 5(not asymptotic to). Evidence i n support of this conclusion was obtained by primer extension analysis of dacB transcripts and the induction of active sigma(E) with subsequ ent synthesis of PBP 5(not asymptotic to) in vegetative cells.
