2. SpoVID guides SafA to the spore coat in Bacillus subtilis

Author

Ozin, Amanda J., Samford, Craig S., Henriques, Adriano O., and Moran, Charles P. Jr.

Subjects
Bacillus subtilis -- Physiological aspects, Spores (Bacteria) -- Physiological aspects, Protein metabolism -- Physiological aspects, Bacterial proteins -- Physiological aspects, Biological sciences
Abstract

Results reveal that during spore coat assembly in Bacillus subtilis, morphogenetic proteins SpoVID and SafA interact and SafA interacts with itself. Immunofluorescence analysis indicate that SafA is targeted to the forespore but its localization to the forespore requires SpoIVD.

3. Alternative translation initiation produces a short form of a spore coat protein in Bacillus subtilis

Author

Ozin, Amanda J., Costa, Teresa, Henriques, Adriano O., and Moran, Charles P. Jr.

Subjects
Spores (Bacteria) -- Genetic aspects, Genetic translation -- Analysis, Proteins -- Synthesis, Bacillus subtilis -- Genetic aspects, Biological sciences
Abstract

Research reveals a translation mechanism for the production of structural components of the endospore coat of Bacillus subtilis. Data indicate that expression of the shorter form 30-kilodalton SafA protein arises from translation initiation at codon 164 and overproduction of this protein compromises sporulation.

4. Morphogenetic proteins SpoVID and SafA form a complex during assembly of the Bacillus subtilis spore coat

Author

Ozin, Amanda J., Henriques, Adriano O., Yi, Hong, and Moran, Charles P. Jr.

Subjects
Spores (Bacteria) -- Genetic aspects, Bacillus subtilis -- Health aspects, Morphogenesis -- Analysis, Cell organelles -- Formation, Biological sciences
Abstract

Research discusses the genetic aspects of spore-coat formation in bacillus subtilis. Data point out that the yrbA gene product is associated with SpoVID protein during the early stage of coat assembly.

12. A Bacillus subtilis secreted protein with a role in endospore coat assembly and function

Author

Serrano, Monica, Zilhao, Rita, Ricca, Ezio, Ozin, Amanda J., Moran, Charles P., Jr., and Hentiques, Adriano O.

Subjects

Abstract

The coat assembly of bacterial endospores is made possible through the expression of the tasA gene, a protein by-product of gerE mutant strains. This protein, which may be synthesized through NaOH treatment, enables the predivisional cell of the bacteria to create a highly complex coat that acts as shield against noxious chemicals. TasA has also been found to induce protein secretion during coat assembly, thereby influencing the bacteria's germination response.
