EsxA, a type VII secretion system-dependent effector, reveals a novel function in the sporulation of Bacillus cereus ATCC14579
B. cereus ATCC14579 possesses two nearly identical T7SSb-dependent effectors belonging to the sagEsxA-like proteins. Simultaneous deletion of genes encoding these effectors significantly delayed and reduced sporulation, a novel finding for EsxA.
