Abstract

The sacQ gene of Bacillus subtilis, a pleiotropic gene affecting the expression of a number of secreted gene products, has been identified as a small 46-amino-acid polypeptide. The increased expression of this polypeptide in strains carrying the sacQ36 allele, or in strains carrying the sacQ gene on a high copy plasmid, appears to be responsible for the phenotype of higher levels of proteases seen in these strains. A deletion of the sacQ gene had no apparent phenotype, indicating that it is not an essential gene.
