Abstract
The Bacillus subtilis genome encodes 16 penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), some of which are involved in synthesis of the spore peptidoglycan. The pbpI (yrrR) gene encodes a class B PBP, PBP4b, and is transcribed in the mother cell by RNA polymerase containing sigma(E). Loss of PBP4b, alone and in combination with other sporulation-specific PBPs, had no effect on spore peptidoglycan structure.Entities:
