Proteins that rescue A-signal-defective mutants of Myxococcus xanthus.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 May 1992

Plamann L, Kuspa A, Kaiser D

Abstract excerpt

The asg mutants of Myxococcus xanthus are defective in the production of an extracellular substance, called A-factor, that is required for expression of a set of fruiting body-specific genes. A-factor is released by wild-type cells (asg+) after 1 to 2 h of development. When A-factor is added to asg mutant cells, it restores expression of their A-factor-dependent genes. Rescue of beta-galactosidase production in...
