Developmental sensory transduction in Myxococcus xanthus involves methylation and demethylation of FrzCD.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Sept 1990

McCleary W R, McBride M J, Zusman D R

Abstract excerpt

Myxococcus xanthus is a bacterium that moves by gliding motility and exhibits multicellular development (fruiting body formation). The frizzy (frz) mutants aggregate aberrantly and therefore fail to form fruiting bodies. Individual frz cells cannot control the frequency at which they reverse direction while gliding. Previously, FrzCD was shown to exhibit significant sequence similarity to the enteric...
