Molecular basis and design principles of switchable front-rear polarity and directional migration in Myxococcus xanthus

Abstract During cell migration, front-rear polarity is spatiotemporally regulated; however, the underlying design of regulatory interactions varies. In rod-shaped Myxococcus xanthus cells, a spatial toggle switch dynamically regulates front-rear polarity. The polarity module establishes front-rear p...
