Spore coat formation and timely sporulation depend on cellulose in Dictyostelium.

Differentiation; research in biological diversity - 1 Mar 2001

Zhang P, McGlynn A C, Loomis W F, Blanton R L, West C M

Abstract excerpt

Cellulose is a major component of the extracellular coat that surrounds the terminally-differentiated spore of Dictyostelium. It is sandwiched between two layers of proteins that derive from prespore vesicles by exocytosis. Strains unable to synthesize cellulose due to null mutations in the gene encoding the catalytic subunit of cellulose synthase (dcsA) failed to make detergent-resistant spores but produced...
