Abstract

Expression of developmentally regulated membrane proteins of aggregating cells of Dictyostelium discoideum is subject to several control mechanisms. One of them involves periodic cyclic-AMP pulses as signals for gene expression. To increase the probability of selecting mutants specifically defective in the contact site A (csA) glycoprotein, one of the characteristic proteins of aggregating cells, ...
