Social motility in Myxococcus xanthus requires FrzS, a protein with an extensive coiled-coil domain.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Sept 2000

Ward M J, Lew H, Zusman D R

Abstract excerpt

Gliding motility in the developmental bacterium Myxococcus xanthus involves two genetically distinct motility systems, designated adventurous (A) and social (S). Directed motility responses, which facilitate both vegetative swarming and developmental aggregation, additionally require the 'frizzy' (Frz) signal transduction pathway. In this study, we have analysed a new gene (frzS), which is positioned upstream of...
