Abstract
ABSTRACT
ComK, the master regulator of competence, is degraded by the general stress-related protease ClpCP but must be targeted to this protease by binding to the adapter protein MecA. The genome of
Bacillus subtilis
contains a paralog of
mecA
,
ypbH
. We show in the present study that YpbH, like MecA, binds ClpC and that its elimination or overproduction affects competence and sporulation.
