Changes during differentiation in requirements for cAMP for expression of cell-type-specific mRNAs in the cellular slime mold, Dictyostelium discoideum.

Abstract：

:A number of genes encoding developmentally regulated mRNAs in the cellular slime mold, Dictyostelium discoideum, have been described. Many of these are regulated by cAMP. Analysis of the earliest time at which elevated levels of cAMP can induce the expression of these mRNAs reveals a more complex pattern of regulation in which genes change in their ability to be induced in response to cAMP with developmental stage. A prestalk mRNA (C1/D11) previously thought not be regulated by elevated levels of cAMP is inducible by cAMP between aggregation and loose mound stage; later in development its expression becomes independent of elevated cAMP. The early prespore genes (prespore class I) also show two modes of regulation; early in development they are induced independently of continuous elevated levels of cAMP, while later in development their expression is dependent upon elevated cAMP. The period during development when the prestalk genes are cAMP inducible precedes by 2 hr the first time at which either the early prespore class I or late prespore class II mRNAs are inducible by continuous elevated levels of cAMP. Previous analysis of these mRNAs has been carried out using Dictyostelium cells grown axenically. In this report we have studied the developmental expression of these mRNAs in cells grown on bacteria. A substantial shutoff of the class I prestalk and early prespore (class I) mRNAs not seen in axenically grown cells is observed when bacterially grown cells are plated for development. Less than 10% of the maximal level of these mRNAs remains in the cells at the time of mature spore and stalk differentiation. Additionally, in the bacterially grown cells two distinct patterns of developmental regulation are observed for mRNAs which in axenically growing cells appear to be constitutively expressed throughout growth and development.
