Stage IV sporulation protein FB is a sporulation-processing aspartic protease from Bacillus subtilis, implicated in coupling mother-cell to forespore gene expression and required for spore formation. It processes the pro-sigmaK factor into active sigmaK. In sporulating bacilli it links mother-cell and forespore transcription programs. It features an aspartic protease catalytic fold.
