Abstract excerpt
A mutant of Dictyostelium that is aberrant in the process of tip formation (dtfA-: defective in tip formation A) has been isolated by gene tagging. The dtfA gene is predicted to encode a protein of 163 kDa. There are no extensive sequence homologies between DTFA and previously identified proteins, but four short N-terminal sequence motifs show partial homology to repeats found in mammalian mucins....
