Self-identity barcodes encoded by six expansive polymorphic toxin families discriminate kin in myxobacteria.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 3 Dec 2019

Vassallo Christopher N, Wall Daniel

Abstract excerpt

Myxobacteria are an example of how single-cell individuals can transition into multicellular life by an aggregation strategy. For these and all organisms that consist of social groups of cells, discrimination against, and exclusion of, nonself is critical. In myxobacteria, TraA is a polymorphic cell surface receptor that identifies kin by homotypic binding, and in so doing exchanges outer membrane (OM) proteins...
