Function Produces a 26-residue extracellular sporulation filling factor (SKF) that induces the lysis of other B.subtilis cells that have not entered the sporulation pathway, providing a source of nutrients to support sporulation, and at the same time delaying commitment to the energetically expensive and irreversible onset of sporulation (Pubmed:12817086, Pubmed:20805502). Can also inhibit growth of other bacteria at high concentrations (Pubmed:11851812). Addition of SKF to solid cultures induces killing, but it is much less effective than SDP (AC O34344) (Pubmed:20805502). Has a role in protecting the secreted lipase LipA against proteolysis, either by modulating its folding or by acting as a protease inhibitor (Pubmed:15812018). {ECO:0000269|Pubmed:11851812, ECO:0000269|Pubmed:12817086, ECO:0000269|Pubmed:15812018, ECO:0000269|Pubmed:20805502}.
