Gliding motility: anticipating the next move with a molecular clock
Abstract
FrzS protein is important for normal social motility in myxobacteria, which includes periodic reversals in the direction of cell motion. Recent results show that cell reversal correlates with the migration of FrzS from the old leading pole of the cell to the new leading pole.
