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...

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...

Septation, dephosphorylation, and the activation of σF during sporulation in Bacillus subtilis

King, Nicole, Dreesen, Oliver, Stragier, Patrick, Pogliano, Kit, Losick, Richard

Cell-specific activation of transcription factor σF during sporulation in Bacillus subtilis requires the formation of the polar septum and the activity of a serine phosphatase (SpoIIE) located in...

Lysine Represses Transcription of the Escherichia coli dapB Gene by Preventing Its Activation by the ArgP Activator▿ †

Bouvier, Jean, Stragier, Patrick, Morales, Violette, Rémy, Elisabeth, Gutierrez, Claude

The Escherichia coli dapB gene encodes one of the enzymes of the biosynthetic pathway leading to lysine and its immediate precursor, diaminopimelate. Expression of dapB is repressed by lysine, but no...
