Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of sfp, a bacillus subtilis phosphopantetheinyl transferase for peptidyl carrier protein domains in peptide synthetases
Luis E. N. Quadri,Paul H. Weinreb,Ming Lei,Michiko M. Nakano,Peter Zuber,Christopher T. Walsh +5 more
TL;DR: In contrast to other phosphopantetheinyl transferases (PPTases) previously examined, Sfp will modify the apo forms of heterologous recombinant proteins, including the PCP domain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Lys2, the aryl carrier protein (ArCP) domain of Escherichia coli EntB, and the E. coli acyl carrierprotein (ACP) subunit, suggesting Sfp as a good candidate forheterologous coexpression
Journal ArticleDOI
Anaerobic growth of a “strict aerobe” (bacillus subtilis)
Michiko M. Nakano,Peter Zuber +1 more
TL;DR: B. subtilis has two distinct nitrate reductases, one for the assimilation of nitrate nitrogen and the other for nitrate respiration, and one nitrite reductase functions both in nitrite nitrogen assimilation and nitrite respiration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and characterization of sfp: a gene that functions in the production of the lipopeptide biosurfactant, surfactin, in Bacillus subtilis.
TL;DR: It is proposed that sfp represents an essential component of peptide synthesis systems and also plays a role, either directly or indirectly, in the regulation of surfactin biosynthesis gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of anaerobic fermentative growth of Bacillus subtilis: identification of fermentation end products and genes required for growth.
TL;DR: Results show that nitrate respiration and fermentation of B. subtilis are governed by divergent regulatory pathways, and suggest that PDH is involved in most or all acetyl coenzyme A production in B.subilis.
Journal ArticleDOI
srfA is an operon required for surfactin production, competence development, and efficient sporulation in Bacillus subtilis.
TL;DR: These experiments show that srfA gene products function in B. subtilis cell specialization and differentiation.
