摘要：

The zymogen of the protease (GPR) that initiates protein degradation during spore germination in Bacillus species is not activated in vitro under normal physiological conditions. However, there is rapid, acid-pH-dependent, zero-order, proteolytic activation of the purified zymogen in high concentrations of dimethyl sulfoxide. These findings provide further evidence that GPR activates itself during sporulation.
