The germinosome is a cluster of germininant receptors and GerD that is localized as a single cluster in the spore inner membrane. It is necessary for the rapid and cooperative response to nutrients, since conditions known to block nutrient germination also disrupt the protein cluster. PubMed

Components of the germinosome

  • stoichiometry of the germinosome:
    • 2,500 germinant receptor complexes (1,100 A, 700 B, 700 K)
    • 3,500 GerD molecules
