Temperature-sensitive sporulation caused by a mutation in the Bacillus subtilis secY gene.
A thermosensitive sporulation mutant of Bacillus subtilis containing a mutation in the secY gene was isolated and characterized. No asymmetric septum specific to the sporulation was detected by electron microscopy at the nonpermissive temperature, indicating that the block occurred at a very early stage of sporulation. Furthermore, competence development in the mutant cell was affected even at ...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of sporulation-initiation mutation in the Bacillus subtilis prfB gene.
A Bacillus subtilis prfB45 mutant grew at 42 degrees C, but its sporulation was severely defective at 37 degrees C. Sporulation-specific induction of kinA, spo0A, and spo0H genes was inhibited in the mutant. The effects of temperature up-shift and down-shift on sporulation of the prfB45 mutant was observed at an early stage of sporulation. UGA readthrough frequency at non-permissive temperature...
متن کاملSuppression of temperature-sensitive sporulation of a Bacillus subtilis elongation factor G mutant by RNA polymerase mutations.
A class of rifampin-resistant (rfm) mutations of Bacillus subtilis suppresses the temperature-sensitive sporulation of a fusidic acid-resistant mutant. FUS426, which has an altered elongation factor G. The rfm mutation suppressed only the sporulation defect caused by the elongation factor G mutation, but could not suppress other types of induced sporulation defects. Genetic and biochemical anal...
متن کاملMutation in yaaT leads to significant inhibition of phosphorelay during sporulation in Bacillus subtilis.
In the course of a Bacillus subtilis functional genomics project which involved screening for sporulation genes, we identified an open reading frame, yaaT, whose disruptant exhibits a sporulation defect. Twenty-four hours after the initiation of sporulation, most cells of the yaaT mutant exhibited stage 0 of sporulation, indicating that the yaaT mutation blocks sporulation at an early stage. Fu...
متن کاملNew types of RNA polymerase mutations causing temperature-sensitive sporulation in bacillus subtilis.
A single site mutant of Bacillus subtilis with a streptovaricin-resistant RNA polymerase has been isolated; this mutation caused temperature-sensitive sporulation, but had no effect on vegetative growth. The mutant (ts710) temperature-sensitive period irreversibly affected the middle and late stages of sporulation. Mutant cells grown at the nonpermissive temperature exhibited abnormal serine pr...
