Abstract excerpt
The BsgA protease is required for starvation-induced development in Myxococcus xanthus. Bypass suppressors of a bsgA mutant were isolated to identify genes that may encode additional components of BsgA protease-dependent regulation of development. Strain M951 was isolated following Tn5 mutagenesis of a bsgA mutant and was capable of forming fruiting bodies and viable spores in the absence of the BsgA protease....
