A developmentally regulated kinesin-related motor protein from Dictyostelium discoideum.
The cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum is an attractive system for studying the roles of microtubule-based motility in cell development and differentiation. In this work, we report the first molecular characterization of kinesin-related proteins (KRPs) in Dictyostelium. A PCR-based strategy was used to isolate DNA fragments encoding six KRPs, several of which are induced during the de...
متن کاملDevelopmentally regulated, carbohydrate-binding protein in Dictyostelium discoideum.
A carbohydrate-binding protein assayed by its ability to agglutinate formalinized sheep erythrocytes is synthesized between 3 and 9 hr after Dictyostelium discoideum cells are deprived of food, as the cells become cohesive. Agglutination of erythrocytes by this protein was inhibited by N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, D-galactose, and L-fucose, but other monosaccharides had little or no effect. The pr...
متن کاملInvolvement of a cell-surface glycoprotein in the cell-sorting process of Dictyostelium discoideum.
Cell sorting among prespore cells and prestalk cells in Dictyostelium discoideum was studied by using fluorochrome-labeled cells in an in vitro assay. Labeled prestalk cells first formed randomly mixed aggregates with unlabeled prespore cells. Then cells began to sort out from each other. About 3-4 hr later, prestalk cells became clustered at one pole of the aggregate. Aggregates deposited on a...
متن کاملA developmentally regulated Na-H exchanger in Dictyostelium discoideum is necessary for cell polarity during chemotaxis
Increased intracellular H(+) efflux is speculated to be an evolutionarily conserved mechanism necessary for rapid assembly of cytoskeletal filaments and for morphological polarity during cell motility. In Dictyostelium discoideum, increased intracellular pH through undefined transport mechanisms plays a key role in directed cell movement. We report that a developmentally regulated Na-H exchange...
متن کاملEvidence that a glycolipid tail anchors antigen 117 to the plasma membrane of Dictyostelium discoideum cells.
We describe the biochemical features of the putative cell cohesion molecule antigen 117, indicating that it is anchored to the plasma membrane by a glycolipid tail. Antigen 117 can be radiolabeled with [3H]myristate, [3H]palmitate, and [14C]ethanolamine. The fatty acid label is removed by periodate oxidation and nitrous acid deamination, indicating that the fatty acid is attached to the protein...
