Dormant spores sense amino acids through the B subunits of their germination receptors
Germination of Bacillus subtilis spores in response to L-alanine requires a putative membrane receptor consisting of three proteins. Here, Artzi et al. use evolutionary co-variation analysis and functional assays of mutants to provide evidence that one of the proteins, GerAB, likely acts as the L-al...

| Sumario: | Germination of Bacillus subtilis spores in response to L-alanine requires a putative membrane receptor consisting of three proteins. Here, Artzi et al. use evolutionary co-variation analysis and functional assays of mutants to provide evidence that one of the proteins, GerAB, likely acts as the L-alanine sensor. |
