摘要

comK, which encodes the competence transcription factor, is itself transcriptionally activated at the transition from exponential growth to stationary phase in Bacillus subtilis. MecA, a negative regulator of competence, also inhibits comK transcription when overexpressed, and a mecA null mutation results in comK overexpression. Although null mutations in mecA, as well as in another gene, mecB, are known to bypass the requirements for nearly all of the competence regulatory genes, the comK requirement is not suppressed by mecA inactivation. Various competence regulatory genes (comA, srfA, degU, abrB, sin, and spo0A) are shown to be required for the expression of comK. srfA transcription is shown to occur equally in cells destined for competence and those destined not to become competent. In contrast, comK transcription is restricted to the presumptive competent cells. These and other results are combined to describe a regulatory pathway for competence.
