Genetic Suppression Meets Structure Prediction: Probing a Spore Germination Receptor Complex.

Anne Moir1, David L Popham2.   

Abstract

Despite the thousands of spore germinant receptor operons identified in genomes of bacilli and clostridia, understanding how the three essential receptor components act as a signal transduction machine in germination remains limited. The paper by Amon et al. in this issue uses the classical genetic approach of suppression to define a region of likely interaction between the GerAA and GerAB proteins: it provides a first glimpse into potential events within the receptor complex (J. D. Amon, L. Artzi, and D. Z. Rudner, J Bacteriol 204:e00470-21, 2022, https://doi.org/10.1128/JB.00470-21).
