Biophysical modeling reveals the transcriptional regulatory mechanism of Spo0A, the master regulator in starving Bacillus subtilis

ABSTRACT In starving Bacillus subtilis bacteria, the initiation of two survival programs—biofilm formation and sporulation—is controlled by the same phosphorylated master regulator, Spo0A~P. Its gene, spo0A, is transcribed from two promoters, Pv and Ps, that are, respectively, regulated by RNA polym...
