The Self-Identity Protein IdsD Is Communicated between Cells in Swarming Proteus mirabilis Colonies
Saak, Christina Caroline; Gibbs, Karine A (American Society for Microbiology, 2016)Proteus mirabilis is a social bacterium that is capable of self (kin) versus nonself recognition. Swarming colonies of this bacterium expand outward on surfaces to centimeter-scale distances due to the collective motility ... -
Two Proteins Form a Heteromeric Bacterial Self-Recognition Complex in Which Variable Subdomains Determine Allele-Restricted Binding
Cardarelli, Lia; Saak, Christina; Gibbs, Karine A. (American Society of Microbiology, 2015)ABSTRACT Self- versus nonself-recognition in bacteria has been described recently through genetic analyses in multiple systems; however, understanding of the biochemical properties and mechanisms of recognition-determinant ...
