Abstract excerpt
The csgA gene encodes an extracellular protein that plays an essential role in the regulation of fruiting-body formation and sporulation of Myxococcus xanthus. The csgA suppressor allele soc-500 (formerly referred to as csp-500) was selected based on its ability to restore sporulation to csgA cells under developmental conditions at 32 degrees C. The soc-500 allele was subsequently found to induce sporulation of...
