Function
Gliding protein or Mutual gliding-motility protein or Gliding motility protein (MglA and MglB). MglA is related to GTPase and is required for the normal operation of adventurous and social motility and multicellular development of some bacteria[1]. In Myxococcus xanthus MglA regulates the movement of the bacteria on surfaces. MglB is MglA cognate GTPase activating protein[2].
