Modeling Curvature-Dependent Subcellular Localization of the Small Sporulation Protein SpoVM in Bacillus subtilis

Recent in vivo experiments suggest that in the bacterium, Bacillus subtilis, the cue for the localization of the small sporulation protein, SpoVM, an essential factor in spore coat formation, is curvature of the bacterial plasma membrane. In vitro measurements of SpoVM adsorption to vesicles of vary...
