Abstract:Copines are a family of calcium-dependent membrane-binding proteins. To study these proteins, anull mutant for
cpnC
was created in
Dictyostelium
, which has six copines genes (
cpnA-cpnF
). During development,
cpnC
−
cells were able to aggregate, but did not form streams. Once aggregated into mounds, they formed large ring structures.
cpnC
−
cells were less adherent… Show more
