| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Transcription initiation of sporulation trigger genes of Bacillus subtilis (kinB and kinA) from adenine (+1) is activated upon stringent response, that is, under positive stringent transcription control. kinB transcription is repressed by a regulatory factor SinR for biofilm formation. Moreover, SinR was found to be involved in positive stringent transcription controlof kinB. The lacZ-fusion and EMSA analyses revealed a SinR-binding site (-61/-57) for SinR repression of kinB and another SinR-binding site (-29/-8) for positive strigent transcription control of kinB. Furthermore, SinR was involved not only in positive stringent transcription control of kinB but also in that of kinA, ilvB, and pycA.
