Institute of Genetics, University of Bayreuth, Germany
Microbiology 142:1641-9. 1996..The data suggest that most of the transcripts originating at the potential vegetative promoter are terminated at the intergenic terminator. Readthrough transcription into the downstream dnaK operon was not found... - SsrA-mediated tagging in Bacillus subtilisT Wiegert
Institute of Genetics, University of Bayreuth, D 95440 Bayreuth, Germany
J Bacteriol 183:3885-9. 2001..HrcA remained stable only in clpX or clpP knockouts, which suggests that this ATP-dependent protease is primarily responsible for the degradation of SsrA-tagged proteins in B. subtilis... - hrcA, the first gene of the Bacillus subtilis dnaK operon encodes a negative regulator of class I heat shock genesA Schulz
Institute of Genetics, University of Bayreuth, Germany
J Bacteriol 178:1088-93. 1996..Overproduction of HrcA protein prior to a heat shock almost completely prevented growth at a high temperature.

Institute of Genetics, University of Bayreuth, Germany
Gene 170:81-4. 1996..The dnaJ gene could complement an Escherichia coli dnaJts mutant for growth at high temperature. Sequencing and hybridization data strongly suggest that the Bt chromosome contains an analog of dnaJ... - Functional analysis of the secretory precursor processing machinery of Bacillus subtilis: identification of a eubacterial homolog of archaeal and eukaryotic signal peptidasesH Tjalsma
