Abstract excerpt
The program of multicellular development in Dictyostelium discoideum culminates with the assembly of a rugged, environmentally resistant spore coat around each spore cell. After synthesis, the proteins that will constitute the coat are stored in prespore vesicles (PSVs) until an unknown developmental signal triggers the PSVs to move to the cell surface where they fuse with the plasma membrane and secrete their...
