Transposon tagging of genes for cell-cell interactions in Myxococcus xanthus.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 1 Nov 1990

Kalos M, Zissler J

Abstract excerpt

The prokaryote Myxococcus xanthus is a model for cell interactions important in multicellular behavior. We used the transposon TnphoA to specifically identify genes for cell-surface factors involved in cell interactions. From a library of 10,700 insertions of TnphoA, we isolated 36 that produced alkaline phosphatase activity. Three TnphoA insertions tagged cell motility genes, called cgl, which control the...
