Regulation of the Spore Cortex Lytic Enzyme SleB in Bacillus anthracis
… is the first step. It was found that SleB and YpeB are co-dependent. In the absence of one protein, the other is degraded during sporulation by an unidentified protease(s), although HtrC and SpoIVB are not likely responsible. Specific regions and residues of YpeB were also identified as being …

Identification and Analysis of Germination-Active Proteins in Bacillus Spores
… in vivo crosslinking indicated that YpeB may exist as a multimer within the dormant spore. Further investigation of individual protein domains using bacterial two-hybrid analysis suggested that both N- and C-terminal domains of YpeB contribute to the formation of a multimer. In …

Characterization of Bacillus Spore Membrane Proteomes and Investigation of Their Roles in the Spore Germination Process
… we proved that the protease is responsible for YpeB proteolytic processing at specific sites during germination. However, without HtrC present in the spore, other proteases appear to degrade YpeB at a reduced rate. The activity of purified HtrC in vitro was stimulated by a relatively high …

Structural and functional insights to Bacillus spore germination and toxin engineering for sustainable agriculture
… the SleB cortex lytic enzyme complexed with the YpeB and YlaJ proteins. Site directed mutagenesis guided by EV Couplings analysis lends weight to the model potentially revealing insight to how this critical enzyme is held in an inactive state during spore dormancy. Finally, the thesis …
