Abstract excerpt
During fertilization in Chlamydomonas, flagellar adhesion between mt(+) and mt(-) gametes induces a cAMP-dependent signal transduction pathway that prepares the gametes for cell fusion and zygote formation. Previously, our laboratory identified a homeodomain protein (GSP1) whose expression was restricted to the cell bodies of mt(+) gametes and whose transcript level was up-regulated during flagellar adhesion. In...
