Factors that mediate and prevent degradation of the inactive and unstable GudB protein in Bacillus subtilis

The Gram-positive model bacterium Bacillus subtilis contains two glutamate dehydrogenase-encoding genes, rocG and gudB. While the rocG gene encodes the functional GDH, the gudB gene is cryptic (gudBCR) in the laboratory strain 168 due to a perfect 18 bp-long direct repeat that renders the GudB enzym...
