Eleven small, acid-soluble proteins (SASP) which are present in spores but not in growing cells ofBacillus subtilis were identified by sequence analysis of proteins separated by acrylamide gel electrophoresis of acid extracts from spores which lack the three major SASP (α, β, and γ). Six of these proteins are encoded by open reading frames identified previously or by analysis of the complete sequence of theB. subtilis genome, including two minor α/β-type SASP (SspC and SspD) and a putative spore coat protein (CotK). Five proteins are encoded by short open reading frames that were not identified as coding regions in the analysis of the completeB. subtilis genomic sequence. Studies of the regulation of two of the latter genes, termedsspG andsspJ , showed that both are expressed only in sporulation. ThesspG gene is transcribed in the mother cell compartment by RNA polymerase with the mother cell-specific sigma factor for RNA polymerase, ςK , and is cotranscribed with a downstream gene,yurS ;sspG transcription also requires the DNA binding protein GerE. In contrast,sspJ is transcribed in the forespore compartment by RNA polymerase with the forespore-specific ςG and appears to give a monocistronic transcript. A mutation eliminating SspG had no effect on sporulation or spore properties, while loss of SspJ caused a slight decrease in the rate of spore outgrowth in an otherwise wild-type background.
