Regulation of the transport system for C (sub)4-dicarboxylic acids in Bacillus subtilis

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on the transport systems for C (sub)4-dicarboxylates. The regulation of two transport proteins by C (sub)4-dicarboxylates in Bacillus subtilis is discussed.

The essential two-component regulatory system encoded by yycF and yycG modulates expression of the ftsAZ operon in Bacillus subtilis

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on Bacillus subtilis yycF and yycG genes. Results indicate that the essential two-component regulatory system encoded by these genes can modulate ftsAZ operon expression in B. subtilis.

The Bacillus subtilis dnaC gene encodes a protein homologous to the DnaB helicase of Escherichia coli

Article Abstract:

A novel gene, with its product resembling the DnaB protein of Escherichia coli forms part of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome. Gene transformation and DNA sequencing indicate that the elongation defect-inducing dnaC30 and ts56 gene mutations and the ts199 mutation leading to replication initiation defect map to the new gene. While the amino-terminal end of the B. subtilis DnaC protein houses dnaC30 and ts56, ts199 is housed near the carboxy-terminal, indicating that dnaC gene of B. subtilis codes for an E. coli dnaB helicase counterpart.
