Abstract excerpt
Dictyostelium cells use extracellular cyclic AMP both as a chemoattractant and as a morphogen inducing cell-type-specific gene expression. Cyclic AMP binds to surface receptors, activates one or more G-proteins, and stimulates adenylate cyclase, guanylate cyclase and phosphoinositidase C. Mutant fgdC showed aberrant chemotaxis, and was devoid of cyclic AMP-induced gene expression and differentiation. Both the...
