Appearance of a Ribonucleic Acid Polymerase-Binding Protein in Asporogenous Mutants of Bacillus subtilis

Arno L Greenleaf 1, Richard Losick 1
PMCID: PMC246421  PMID: 4200841

Abstract

A 70,000-dalton protein that is found in sporulating Bacillus subtilis and that binds to ribonucleic acid polymerase is present in asporogenous mutants that proceed to or beyond stage II of sporulation, but is absent from mutants blocked at stage zero.
