RT   affect access of germinants to their targets in spores.";
RL   J. Bacteriol. 182:1987-1994(2000).
CC   -!- FUNCTION: Required for the formation of functionally normal spores.
CC       Could be involved in the establishment of normal spore coat structure
CC       and/or permeability, which allows the access of germinants to their
CC       receptor.
CC   -!- DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Expressed during sporulation, around the time of
CC       spore coat synthesis and assembly, in mother cell compartment.
CC   -!- INDUCTION: Expression is sigma K-dependent and negatively regulated by
CC       GerE.
