Upstream gene of the mgl operon controls the level of MglA protein in Myxococcus xanthus.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Dec 1991

Hartzell P, Kaiser D

Abstract excerpt

The mgl operon contains two open reading frames (ORFs) which are transcribed together. A collection of nonmotile mutants helped to define the downstream ORF as the mglA gene. Single mutations at the mglA locus completely abolish motility. A series of deletion mutations was constructed to determine the role of the upstream ORF (now called mglB). A strain carrying a deletion in mglB and with an intact mglA produces...
