The dnaB-pheA (256 degrees-240 degrees) region of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome containing genes responsible for stress responses, the utilization of plant cell walls and primary metabolism
Article Abstract:
The dnaB-pheA region of Bacillus subtilis chromosome encodes 113 open reading frames (ORFs) for 65 amino acids and putative polypeptides. The regions also contains new genes such as gerH, relA, phoT, spoVIA and pfk. The identified ORFs such as ysaA encodes a protein that is similar to the protein product of Escherichia coli yjG gene. The region also contains lytS, lytT, ysbA, ysbB, infC, rpml, rpiT, ysdC and abnA genes that exhibit regulatory activities related to primary metabolism and stress response.

Transcription of genes near the sspE locus of the Bacillus subtilis genome
Article Abstract:
Research was conducted to examine the mutY homologue, designated yfhP, yfhQ, and the oxidoreductase homologue, designated yfhS and yfhR, genes, which are located upstream of the sspE locus in the Bacillus subtilis genome. The genetic transcription and the transcription regulation of the genes by yfhP during exponential growth were investigated. Results indicate that YfhP may serve as a negative regulator for the transcription of yfhQ, yfhR, sspE and yfhP.
