Spore coat is altered in modB glycosylation mutants of Dictyostelium discoideum.

Journal of cellular biochemistry - 1 Apr 1990

Aparicio J G, Erdos G W, West C M

Abstract excerpt

The modB mutation eliminates specific carbohydrate epitopes from glycoproteins which are expressed primarily in prespore and spore cells of differentiating Dictyostelium discoideum. Spores formed by the mutant show several phenotypes. Whereas mutant spores germinate efficiently after heat activat...
