Background: In our previous study we found that the expression of stlA showed peaks both in the early and last stages of development and that a product of SteelyA, 4-methyl-5-pentylbenzene-1,3-diol (MPBD), controlled Dictyostelium spore maturation...

The Arabidopsis genome encodes various proteins with a Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain. Many of these proteins also contain nucleotide-binding site (NBS) and leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains and function as resistance (R) proteins. Howev...

Fatty acids are fundamental cellular components, and provide essential building blocks for membrane biosynthesis. Although the use of gene knockout mutants is a robust method for examining the function of specific cellular metabolic networks, fatt...

4-Methyl-5-pentylbenzene-1,3-diol (MPBD), a product of SteelyA enzyme, controls Dictyostelium spore maturation. Since the expression of stlA split the in early and terminal stages, we cannot exclude the possibility that MPBD regulates spore differ...

The signalling molecule 1-(3,5-dichloro-2,6-dihydroxy- 4-methoxyphenyl) hexan-1-one (DIF-1) is required for differentiation and pattern formation in Dictyostelium discoideum development. DIF-1 is synthesized by three enzymes, a hybrid polyketide s...
