Abstract excerpt
Myxococcus xanthus utilizes extracellular signals during development to coordinate cell movement, differentiation, and changes in gene expression. One of these signals, the C signal, regulates the expression of many genes, including Omega4400, a gene identified by an insertion of Tn5 lac into the chromosome. Expression of Tn5 lac Omega4400 is reduced in csgA mutant cells, which fail to perform C signaling, and...
