Cell-specific activation of the transcription factor Mo during sporulation in Bacillus subtilis is controlled by a regulatory pathway involving the proteins SpoIIE, Spo- IIAA, and SpoIIAB. SpoIIAB is an antagonist of or, and SpoIIAA, which is capable of overcoming SpoIIAB-mediated inhibition of oe, is an antagonist of SpoIIAB. SpoIIAA is, in turn, negatively regulated by SpoIIAB, which phosphorylates SpoIIAA on serine 58. SpoIIAA is also positively regulated by SpoIIE, which dephosphorylates SpoIIAA-P, the phosphory- lated form of SpoIIAA. Here, isoelectric focusing and Western blot analysis were used to examine the phosphorylation state of SpoIIAA in vivo. SpoIIAA was found to be largely in the phosphorylated state during sporulation in wild-type cells but a significant portion of the protein that was unphosphorylated could also be detected. Consistent with the idea that SpoIIE governs dephosphorylation of SpoIIAA-P, SpoIIAA was en-tirely in the phosphorylated state in spoIIE mutant cells. Conversely, overexpression of spoIllE led to an increase in the ratio of unphosphorylated SpoIIAA to SpoIIAA-P and caused inappropriate activation of eo in the predivisional sporangium.
