Role of the Vps9-domain protein RgfA in Dictyostelium chemotaxis and development.

Canadian journal of microbiology - 1 Jan 2013

Hadwiger Jeffrey A

Abstract excerpt

Proteins with a Vps9 domain function as guanine nucleotide exchange factors for Rab proteins and can mediate the uptake of cell surface receptors or other molecules through endocytosis. However, genes encoding these proteins have not been previously studied in cells with robust chemotactic capabilities. Several genes encoding Vps9 domains were identified in the genome of Dictyostelium discoideum, and one of the...
