The master regulator for entry into sporulation in Bacillus subtilis becomes a cell-specific transcription factor after asymmetric division

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on genetic transcription at the onset of Bacillus subtilis sporulation which is regulated by Spo0A. The authors report that Spo0A functions after the intitial sporulation phase, and that it becomes a cell-specific transcription factor when sporangium is divided onto a forespore and mother cell.

Life on a planet of its own: regulation of RNA polymerase I transcription in the nucleolus

Article Abstract:

The author reviews the publications on RNA polymerase I transcription regulation in the nucleolus. The topics of interest include the initiation complex formation mechanism at the rDNA promoter, and the regulatory pathways adapting cellular rRNA synthesis to cell growth and metabolism.

Evidence that entry into sporulation in Bacillus subtilis is governed by a gradual increase in the level and activity of the master regulator Spo0A

Article Abstract:

The transcription factor Spo0A is a master regulator for entry into sporulation in the bacterium Bacillus subtilis, but it is uncertain whether activation of Spo0A is D.
