cDNA cloning and life-cycle stage-specific expression of coronin from Physarum polycephalum.

چکیده
Coronin cDNA was cloned from the plasmodia of Physarum polycephalum. The amino acid sequence deduced from the cDNA was comprised of 449 residues and showed 60% identity to that of Dictyostelium discoideum coronin. Southern blot analysis suggested that the coronin gene present in the P. polycephalum genome might be a single copy. Coronin was expressed in diploid plasmodia, while it was not detected in haploid amoebae or spores.

Distribution of acetylated alpha-tubulin in Physarum polycephalum
The expression and cytological distribution of acetylated alpha-tubulin was investigated in Physarum polycephalum. A monoclonal antibody specific for acetylated alpha-tubulin, 6-11B-1 (Piperno, G., and M. T. Fuller, 1985, J. Cell Biol., 101:2085-2094), was used to screen for this protein during three different stages of the Physarum life cycle--the amoeba, the flagellate, and the plasmodium. We...
متن کاملAn immunological approach to enrich a mitotic stimulator and to reveal G2-phase-specific proteins in Physarum polycephalum
Purified antibodies from an antiserum against S-phase proteins of the myxomycete Physarum polycephalum were attached to protein-A-Sepharose CL-4B. A late G2-phase extract that contained a mitosis-stimulating protein was applied to this immunoadsorbent, and the mitosis-stimulating protein was enriched by a factor of ten. This protein, which is present in the cell in low amounts, is synthesized i...
متن کاملA plasmodial specific mRNA (plasmin C) from Physarum polycephalum encodes a small hydrophobic cysteine-rich protein.
The nucleotide sequences of three plasmodial specific mRNAs from the slime mold Physarum polycephalum were previously determined: hap P (LAV1 1 cDNA (1), plasmin B (LAV1 2 cDNA) (2) and profilin P (LAV1 5 cDNA) (3). In the present work, we analyse the LAV1 —3a cDNA. It is an apparent full length copy of another abundant plasmodial specific mRNA (4). The deduced protein sequence (150 a.a.) is ri...
متن کاملIdentification of histone H1(0) in Physarum polycephalum. Its high level in the plasmodial stage increases in amount and phosphorylation in the sclerotial stage.
An antiserum specific for the globular domain of the bovine very lysine-rich histone subfraction H1(0) cross-reacted with a single protein band in the chromosomal proteins isolated from microplasmodia of the true slime mold Physarum polycephalum. Its amino acid composition was characteristic of a very lysine-rich histone which supported its identification as Physarum H1(0). Unlike Physarum H1(0...
متن کاملA Next-Generation Sequencing Approach to Study the Transcriptomic Changes During the Differentiation of Physarum at the Single-Cell Level
Physarum polycephalum is a unicellular eukaryote belonging to the amoebozoa group of organisms. The complex life cycle involves various cell types that differ in morphology, function, and biochemical composition. Sporulation, one step in the life cycle, is a stimulus-controlled differentiation response of macroscopic plasmodial cells that develop into fruiting bodies. Well-established Mendelian...
