Steroids initiate a signaling cascade that triggers rapid sporulation in Dictyostelium.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Mar 2009

Anjard Christophe, Su Yongxuan, Loomis William F

Abstract excerpt

Encapsulation of prespore cells of Dictyostelium discoideum is controlled by several intercellular signals to ensure appropriate timing during fruiting body formation. Acyl-CoA-binding protein, AcbA, is secreted by prespore cells and processed by the prestalk protease TagC to form the 34 amino acid peptide SDF-2 that triggers rapid encapsulation. AcbA is secreted when gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is released...
