SPO0A repression of transcription from the bacillus subtilis AbrB promoter is mediated by SPO0A tethering RNA polymerase to the promoter region
Bacillus subtilis forms an endospore as a response to nutritional stress. Spore formation produces only one progeny cell, therefore it is advantageous for cells to avoid sporulating if other mechanisms for survival are available. The abrB gene product is involved in repressing sporulation. Transc...
