Identification of proteins phosphorylated by ATP during sporulation of Bacillus subtilis

Abstract: Protein phosphorylation in BaciUus subtilis was assayed in vitro by using extracts prepared from cells at various times during'growth and sporulation. At least six proteins were labeled in vitro by using [_y-32PATP and extracts of ve'getative cells. In extracts prepared at the end of exponential growth and during'stationary phase, 12 to 13 proteins were labeled. Seven of the phosphoproteins were purified' by fast-performance liquid chromatography and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, blotted to Immobilon mem… Show more

“…Moreover, E. coli EF-G is known to be phosphorylated during phage T7 infection (20), and it was suggested earlier that a B. subtilis EF-G homologue becomes phosphorylated during the sporulation process (16). It is therefore an attractive possibility that the dynamic control of the phosphorylation state of EF-G serves a regulatory role in stationary-phase B. subtilis cells, and that disruption of this control contributes to the observed phenotypes of the prpC and prkC mutants.…”

“…It is interesting that trigger factor in E. coli, which possesses prolyl isomerase activity, is a CIP (23), which leads to the assumption that isomerase activity is important at low temperatures. The Csi12P protein, which was identified as a main CIP, had previously been identified as a protein phosphorylated by ATP during the sporulation of B. subtilis (35). The encoding gene, orfU, is cotranscribed with tsr, which lies downstream of spo0F (52).…”

“…The sequence of the outB product shows 52% identity with that of the E. coli ammoniadependent NAD synthetase encoded by nadE (2,263), and while the mechanism of action of OutB is not known, the protein has some similarity to the receiver domains of twocomponent regulatory systems. It has also been shown to be phosphorylated when stationary-phase cell extracts are incubated with [␥-32 P]ATP (177), suggesting that this protein might respond to an environmental signal.…”
