This gene is a member of the following regulons

SigG regulon

The gene

Basic information

  • Locus tag: BSU25130

Phenotypes of a mutant

  • an exoA nfo double mutant is impaired in germination and spore outgrowth due to the accumulation of DNA lesions, this can be rescued by inactivation of disA PubMed

  • SubtiList entry: [2]

Additional information

  • Nfo is functionally redundant with ExoA

The protein
