Development and signal transduction in Dictyostelium

Abstract:

Dictyostelium, is a simple eukaryote that multiplies as separate amoebae. However when nutrients are no longer available it embarks on a developmental programme in which the amoebae collect together by chemotaxis and the resulting aggregates eventually transform into fruiting bodies consisting of a cluster of spores held up on a cellular stalk. The entire process of development normally takes about 24 hours. However there are mutants, termed rapidly developing mutants (rde) which ...
