Abstract excerpt
It was previously shown that cGMP enhances cAMP-induced Ca2+-influx in Dictyostelium discoideum. This finding is based on experiments done with strains defective in cGMP-hydrolysis, the streamer F cells. In this work, we show that these chemically mutagenized cells display different properties in their cAMP-induced light-scattering response and cAMP-induced Ca2+-influx compared with a cGMP-phosphodiesterase...
