The Bacillus subtilis SinR protein is a repressor of the key sporulation gene spo0A [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1995 SinR is a pleiotropic DNA binding protein that is essential for the late-growth processes of competence and motility in Bacillus subtilis and is also a repressor of others, e.g., sporulation and subtilisin synthesis. In this report, we show that SinR, in addition to being an inhibitor of sporulation stage II gene expression, is a repressor of the key ...

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 125, Issue 6, Page 506-545, June 2026.Transcriptional profiling of the primary cell envelope stress response (CESR) of Bacillus subtilis exposed to a range of cell wall‐targeting antimicrobials, combining RNAseq and high‐resolution tiling arrays. We revealed the complexity of the CESR, the contribution of extracytoplasmic function sigma factors (ECFs) and two‐component signal transduction ...

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.Clostridium perfringens forms heat‐resistant spores that complicate food safety. Physical methods (thermal processing, HPP, vacuum cooling, ozone treatments) and chemical interventions (natural antimicrobials, phosphates, nitrate/nitrite, organic acids) reduce vegetative cells and spores, though spore resistance remains a major challenge in food and ...

A Role for Asp75 in Domain Interactions in theBacillus subtilis Response Regulator Spo0A [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2000 Spo0A is a two-domain response regulator required for sporulation initiation in Bacillus subtilis. Studies on response regulators have focused on the activity of each domain, but very little is known about the mechanism by which the regulatory domain inhibits the activator domain.

A conserved switch controls virulence, sporulation, and motility in C. difficile.
PLoS PathogensSpore formation is required for environmental survival and transmission of the human enteropathogenic Clostridioides difficile. In all bacterial spore formers, sporulation is regulated through activation of the master response regulator, Spo0A.

Epitranscriptomics as a Candidate Universal Modulator of Dormancy Transitions
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.Dormancy is presented as a conserved, reversible survival program in which epitranscriptomic RNA modifications are proposed to provide a rapid, energy‐efficient layer that establishes, maintains, and terminates the state by modulating mRNA stability, translation, and localization.
