Abstract excerpt
The avian retroviral v-myb gene and its cellular homologues throughout the animal and plant kingdoms contain a conserved DNA binding domain. We have isolated an insertional mutant of Dictyostelium unable to switch from slug migration to fruiting body formation i.e. unable to culminate. The gene that is disrupted, mybC, codes for a protein with a myb-like domain that is recognized by an antibody against the v-myb...
