The regulation of glycoprotein synthesis by cAMP in Dictyostelium

Dynamics of Cell Redifferentiation in Dictyostelium mucoroides

“…Furthermore, P. pallidum prespores exposed to cyclic AMP redifferentiated into mature stalk cells [17]. It has been determined that a 5 min exposure of D. discoideum vegetative amoebae to cyclic AMP results in a 20% loss in their ability to synthesize glycoproteins [15]. This decline suggests that the amoebae were induced to begin the transition into prestalk cells.…”
