Abstract

Enhancer binding proteins (EBPs) control the temporal expression of fruiting body development-associated genes in Myxococcus xanthus. Eleven previously uncharacterized EBP genes were inactivated. Six EBP gene mutations produced minor, but reproducible defects in fruiting body development. One EBP gene mutation that affected A-motility produced strong developmental defects.
