Article Synopsis
- - Bacillus subtilis spores have a robust structure with a thick protein layer called the spore coat, made up of over 80 proteins organized into four layers: basement, inner coat, outer coat, and crust.
- - During spore development, proteins from the cytoplasm are deposited onto the prespore surface, with certain morphogenetic proteins forming a scaffold for the other proteins.
- - This study used a bacterial two-hybrid system to explore interactions among proteins in the outer coat and crust, revealing self-interactions and novel contacts that could help clarify the roles of proteins like CotE, CotY, and CotZ in spore coat development.
