spoVM

Gene
spoVM
Protein
Stage V sporulation protein M
Organism
Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)
Length
26 amino acids
Function
Coordinates cortex and coat assembly during sporulation (PubMed:22463703, PubMed:8231808). Associates with the spore coat protein SpoIVA and with the outer forespore membrane, thereby serving as a membrane anchor that tethers SpoIVA and the entire spore coat to the forespore surface (PubMed:17427285). May also serve as a competitive inhibitor of FtsH activity during sporulation (PubMed:9287010).
