The dsg mutants of Myxococcus xanthus are defective in fruiting body development and sporulation, yet they grow normally. The deduced amino acid sequence of the dsg gene product is 50 and 51% identical to the amino acid sequence of translation initiation factor IF3 of both Escherichia coli and Bacillus stearothermophilus, respectively. However, the Dsg protein has a carboxy-terminal extension of 66 amino acids, which are absent from its E. coli and B. stearothermophilus homologs. The Shine-Dalga ...[more]
