A dynamic response regulator protein modulates G-protein-dependent polarity in the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus.
Migrating cells employ sophisticated signal transduction systems to respond to their environment and polarize towards attractant sources. Bacterial cells also regulate their polarity dynamically to reverse their direction of movement. In Myxococcus xanthus, a GTP-bound Ras-like G-protein, MglA, acti...
