The amino-acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence of the spoIIAC gene of Bacillus subtilis has been shown to be homologous to that of the sigma subunit of the Escherichia coli RNA polymerase (Errington et al. 1985). I now describe results that indicate that this gene can be cloned in E. c

Yudkin (1986) has shown that the spoIIAC gene of Bacillus subtilis cannot be cloned in Escherichia coli in such an orientation that it is expressed. This toxicity of the gene product has been attributed to its close homology with the sigma subunit of the E. coli RNA polymerase. The effect of six ind
We have cloned a 14 kb DNA segment containing the coding sequence (polC) for DNA polymerase III (PolIII) from the Bacillus subtilis chromosome. The plasmid carrying the sequence, pRO10, directs the synthesis of the 160 kDa PolIII protein and three additional polypeptides in Escherichia coli maxicell
A gene library of Bacillus subtilis chromosomal DNA was screened for genes capable of reverting the growth defects of the Escherichia coli secA51(Ts) mutant at 42 degrees C. A B. subtilis gene, designated csaA, was found to phenotypically suppress not only the growth defects of the E. coli mutant, b
