Abstract excerpt
Upon starvation, rod-shaped Myxococcus xanthus bacteria form mounds and then differentiate into round, stress-resistant spores. Little is known about the regulation of late-acting operons important for spore formation. C-signaling has been proposed to activate FruA, which binds DNA cooperatively with MrpC to stimulate transcription of developmental genes. We report that this model can explain regulation of the...
