Factors that mediate and prevent degradation of the inactive and unstable GudB protein in Bacillus subtilis

Factors that mediate and prevent degradation of the inactive and unstable GudB protein in Bacillus subtilis

The Gram-positive model bacterium Bacillus subtilis contains two glutamate dehydrogenase-encoding genes, rocG and gudB. While the rocG gene encodes the functional GDH, the gudB gene is cryptic (gudBCR) in the laboratory strain 168 due to a perfect 18 bp-long direct repeat that renders the GudB enzym...
