New mutation affecting the synthesis of some membrane proteins and sporulation in Bacillus subtilis.
A new mutation, mpo, which affects the synthesis of some membrane proteins and sporulation in Bacillus subtilis was identified. The mpo mutation was tightly linked to the overproduction of membrane proteins MP32 and MP18 (molecular weights of 32,000 and 18,000, respectively) and the temperature-sensitive sporulation phenotype. Genetic analysis showed that the mpo mutation maps between the spoIIIB and lys loci.
