Abstract excerpt
Binding of cyclic AMP (cAMP) to the cell surface receptor induces a transient activation of guanylate cyclase in Dictyostelium discoideum. A frigid mutant (HC85) which lacks G alpha 2, a guanine nucleotide binding protein, does not respond to cAMP. We found that 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol (BAL) induced a continuous activation both in the frigid and in its parents. Therefore, the BAL-induced continuous activation...
