Towards the development of Bacillus subtilisas a cell factory for membrane proteins and protein complexes (2008)

Zweers, Jessica C, Barák, Imrich, Becher, Dörte, Driessen, Arnold JM, Hecker, Michael, Kontinen, Vesa P, ...

Abstract Background The Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis is an important producer of high quality industrial enzymes and a few eukaryotic proteins. Most of these proteins are secreted into...

Bacillus subtilis Locus Encoding a Killer Protein and Its Antidote

Adler, Elliot, Barák, Imrich, Stragier, Patrick

We have isolated mutations that block sporulation after formation of the polar septum in Bacillus subtilis. These mutations were mapped to the two genes of a new locus, spoIIS. Inactivation of the...

MinCD Proteins Control the Septation Process during Sporulation of Bacillus subtilis

Barák, Imrich, Prepiak, Peter, Schmeisser, Falko

Mutation of the divIVB locus in Bacillus subtilis causes misplacement of the septum during cell division and allows the formation of anucleate minicells. The divIVB locus contains five open reading...

Transient gene asymmetry during sporulation and establishment of cell specificity in Bacillus subtilis

Frandsen, Niels, Barák, Imrich, Karmazyn-Campelli, Céline, Stragier, Patrick

Sporulation in Bacillus subtilis is initiated by an asymmetric division generating two cells of different size and fate. During a short interval, the smaller forespore harbors only 30% of the...

Lipid spirals in Bacillus subtilis and their role in cell division

Barák, Imrich, Muchová, Katarína, Wilkinson, Anthony J, O'Toole, Peter J, Pavlendová, Nada

The fluid mosaic model of membrane structure has been revised in recent years as it has become evident that domains of different lipid composition are present in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells....

Searching for Protein-Protein Interactions within the Bacillus subtilis Spore Coat▿

Krajčíková, Daniela, Lukáčová, Magda, Müllerová, Denisa, Cutting, Simon M., Barák, Imrich

The capability of endospores of Bacillus subtilis to withstand extreme environmental conditions is secured by several attributes. One of them, the protein shell that encases the spore and is known as...
