Characterization of a Dictyostelium factor that acts synergistically with DIF to induce terminal stalk cell differentiation.
Developmental biology - 15 Apr 1997
Yamada Y, Okamoto K, Williams J
Abstract excerpt
The differentiation of Dictyostelium prestalk cells is induced by the chlorinated hexaphenone DIF-1 and their maturation into stalk cells at culmination occurs by activation of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). Medium harvested from developing Dictyostelium cells will act synergistically with DIF-1 to induce prestalk cell differentiation in a low-density monolayer assay (Yamada and Okamoto, 1994). Using...
