摘要：

The Frz signal transduction system of Myxococcus xanthus was originally thought to be a simple variation of the well-characterized Che system of the enteric bacteria. Recently, however, many additional Frz proteins, along with alternative signal transduction systems, have been discovered. Together these signal transduction pathways coordinate cell-cell behavior, permitting the complex interactions required for developmental aggregation and fruiting body formation.
