  • PubMed Abstract: 

    Sporulation in Bacillus subtilis begins with an asymmetric cell division giving rise to smaller forespore and larger mother cell compartments. Different programs of gene expression are subsequently directed by compartment-specific RNA polymerase sigma-factors. In the final stages, spore coat proteins are synthesized in the mother cell under the control of RNA polymerase containing sigma(K), (Esigma(K)). sigma(K) is synthesized as an inactive zymogen, pro-sigma(K), which is activated by proteolytic cleavage. Processing of pro-sigma(K) is performed by SpoIVFB, a metalloprotease that resides in a complex with SpoIVFA and bypass of forespore (Bof)A in the outer forespore membrane. Ensuring coordination of events taking place in the two compartments, pro-sigma(K) processing in the mother cell is delayed until appropriate signals are received from the forespore. Cell-cell signaling is mediated by SpoIVB and BofC, which are expressed in the forespore and secreted to the intercompartmental space where they regulate pro-sigma(K) processing by mechanisms that are not yet fully understood. Here we present the three-dimensional structure of BofC determined by solution state NMR. BofC is a monomer made up of two domains. The N-terminal domain, containing a four-stranded beta-sheet onto one face of which an alpha-helix is packed, closely resembles the third immunoglobulin-binding domain of protein G from Streptococcus. The C-terminal domain contains a three-stranded beta-sheet and three alpha-helices in a novel domain topology. The sequence connecting the domains contains a conserved DISP motif to which mutations that affect BofC activity map. Possible roles for BofC in the sigma(K) checkpoint are discussed in the light of sequence and structure comparisons.
