Identification of genes involved in the activation of the Bacillus thuringiensis inhA metalloprotease gene at the onset of sporulation

Genes with a role in the activation of the Bacillus thuringiensis immune inhibitor A (inhA) metalloprotease gene at the onset of sporulation have been identified. Study has shown that the major regulator of inhA expression is AbrB. It acts as a repressor of inhA transcription.
