title: Cloning and nucleotide sequence of senN, a novel 'Bacillus natto' (B. subtilis) gene that regulates expression of extracellular protein genes.
abstract: A new 'Bacillus natto' gene, senN, that regulates the expression of several extracellular proteins in B. subtilis has been cloned and sequenced. senN codes for a small, highly basic protein with an amino acid sequence different from the products coded by the regulatory genes sacQ, sacV, prtR and hpr. SenN stimulates gene expression at the transcriptional level. A putative homologous locus has been detected in the B. subtilis chromosome by Southern blotting.
