The goal of this study was to describe YabT, the last Hanks-type kinase found in B. subtilis, which had no known physiological function or substrates. In vivo, YabT localizes to the septum between the mother cell and the newborn spore, and its expression profile peaks in the early hours of spore development. YabT features a putative transmembrane helix but no signal-binding domain outside of the cell. Surprisingly, we discovered that binding DNA activates this kinase. Increased vulnerability to DNA damage during sporulation is caused by inactivation of the yabT gene in vivo. On the basis of these findings. Download Among Us and gacha life free.
