Abstract excerpt
To characterize the function of plant profilins in vivo, we expressed two pollen specific Zea mays (maize) profilin isoforms in profilin-minus Dictyostelium discoideum mutants. In maize, profilins exist as a multigene family containing 4 or more members which are highly similar to each other but substantially less similar to profilins from animals and lower eukaryotes. Previously we have shown that D. discoideum...
