Abstract excerpt
The Dictyostelium XMAP215 family member DdCP224 is involved in centrosome duplication and cytokinesis and is concentrated at the centrosome and microtubule tips. Herein, we have created a DdCP224 promoter replacement mutant that allows both over- and underexpression. Overexpression led to supernumerary microtubule-organizing centers and, independently, an increase of the number of multinuclear cells. Electron...
