Paper of the month: December 2013
- Intercellular signaling requires the transfer of information between two different cells. Now, Mastny et al. from the labs of David Rudner and Tim Clausen show how the protease CtpB is activated by substrate binding to cleave off the inhibitory domain of SpoIVFA to allow ultimately allow processing of pro-SigK by SpoIVFB.
- Relevant SubtiWiki pages: David Rudner, sporulation, CtpB, SpoIVB, SpoIVFA, SpoIVFB
