The developmental process of Myxococcus xanthus is achieved by the expression of a
specific set of genes under the influence of developmental signals. MrpC is a member of the …

Pkn8 is a membrane‐associated protein Ser/Thr kinase (PSTK) of Myxoccocus xanthus that
was previously found to associate with a novel cytoplasmic kinase, Pkn14. In the present …

Myxococcus xanthus is a gram-negative soil bacterium that undergoes development under
starvation conditions. Our previous study identified a new genetic locus, mrp, which is …

MrpC, a member of the CRP/Fnr superfamily of transcriptional regulators, plays a key role in
coordination of the multicellular developmental program in Myxococcus xanthus. Previous …

Myxococcus xanthus exhibits social behavior and multicellular development. FruA is an
essential transcription factor for fruiting body development in M. xanthus. In the present …

Proper expression of the dev operon is important for normal development of Myxococcus
xanthus. When starved, these bacteria coordinate their gliding movements to build mounds …

Fruiting body development of Myxococcus xanthus is propelled by temporal gene
expression directed via stage-specific intercellular signaling pathways. M. xanthus exhibits …

Myxococcus xanthus is a gram-negative soil bacterium that undergoes multicellular
development upon nutrient limitation. Intercellular signals control cell movements and …

Background Myxococcus xanthus is a bacterium that undergoes multicellular development
when starved. Cells move to aggregation centers and form fruiting bodies in which cells …

Starvation causes cells in a dense population of Myxococcus xanthus to change their gliding
movements and construct mounds. Short-range C-signaling between rod-shaped cells …
