DegQ and SwrA differentially modulate protease production and flagellar motility in Bacillus subtilis

In Bacillus subtilis, the DegS-DegU two-component system modulates a range of adaptive responses, including extracellular protease production and the flagellar-surface motility called swarming. Two proteins, DegQ and SwrA, are thought to increase the amount of phosphorylated DegU and alter DegU DNA-binding abilities of DegU, respectively. Here we compare the relative contributions of DegQ and…
