Abstract excerpt
The lon gene of Escherichia coli is known to encode protease La, an ATP-dependent protease associated with cellular protein degradation. A lon gene homolog from Myxococcus xanthus, a soil bacterium which differentiates to form fruiting bodies upon nutrient starvation, was cloned and characterized...
