Myxococcus xanthus contains two genes (lonV and lonD) homologous to the Escherichia coli lon gene for an ATP-dependent protease. We found that the lonD gene encodes a 90-kDa protein consisting of 827 amino acid residues. The lonD gene product shows 49, 48, and 52% sequence identity to the products of the M. xanthus lonV, E. coli lon, and Bacillus brevis lon genes, respectively. When a lonD-lacZ fusion was used, lonD was expressed during both vegetative growth and development. However, while lonD ...[more]
