Abstract excerpt
In Dictyostelium discoideum, the cadA gene encodes the cell adhesion molecule DdCAD-1, a protein of M(r) 24,000, which mediates Ca(2+)-dependent cell-cell adhesion during development. We have examined the effects of cAMP, cell-cell contact, and growth conditions on cadA expression. cadA has a unique pattern of expression, which appears to be a combination of the expression patterns of early genes and...
