the protease that initiates rapid proteolysis during germination of bacillus megaterium spores is synthesized during sporulation as a 46,000-molecular-weight polypeptide ( p46 ) and is processed later in sporulation to a 41,000-molecular-weight polypeptide ( p41 ) , which is converted to a 40,000-molecular-weight polypeptide ( p40 ) early in spore germination .
