Abstract excerpt
4-Methyl-5-pentylbenzene-1,3-diol (MPBD), a product of SteelyA enzyme, controls Dictyostelium spore maturation. Since the expression of stlA split the in early and terminal stages, we cannot exclude the possibility that MPBD regulates spore differentiation from the early stage by creating a bias between the cells. 1-(3,5-Dichloro-2,6-dihydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl) hexan-1-on (DIF-1), a product of SteelyB, was...
