摘要: The pathway for binding, processing and transport of transforming DNA into competent cells Bacillus subtilis is described. known proteins involved in mediating these processes are reviewed turn, including several that resemble required type-IV pilus assembly function, those protein secretion. Based on the phenotypes null mutations cognate genes proteins, similarities to other membrane localization topology data, proposals made roles individual transformation process. A dynamic model suggested presentation apparatus.
