A mutation in Bacillus subtilis spo0A codon 97 suppressed the sporulation defect caused by the spo0A9V mutation. The suppressor activity of the codon 97 mutation was evident only in the presence of a novel spo0H allele. Our results suggest that the spo0A gene product interacts with the sigma factor subunit of RNA polymerase.
枯草芽孢杆菌spo0A密码子97处的一个突变抑制了spo0A9V突变导致的芽孢形成缺陷。密码子97突变的抑制活性仅在存在一个新的spo0H等位基因时才明显。我们的结果表明,spo0A基因产物与RNA聚合酶的σ因子亚基相互作用。
