Abstract：
:Studies of motility in Physarum polycephalum have concentrated on the well-defined actomyosin system in plasmodia. It is clear from recent genetic studies in lower eukaryotes that myosin is involved in a number of physiological processes in addition to the contractile functions previously ascribed to the classical type II myosins. Moreover, the myosin protein family has proved to be more complex than anticipated, with an increasing number of reported specialized isoforms. Although a myosin type II activity has been identified in both amoebae and plasmodia of P. polycephalum, and it has been inferred that these proteins undergo a phase-specific isoform switch during development, this phenomenon has not been analysed genetically. In an effort to understand the putative developmental expression of actomyosin-associated proteins, we isolated a 180-kDa protein from amoebae which is highly enriched, along with actin and myosin, in actomyosin preparations in the presence of mM concentrations of Mg++ ions and 10 mM of ATP. Using polyclonal antisera raised against pl80 we have cloned and sequenced a partial cDNA encoding a protein whose predicted amino-acid sequence indicates some similarity with the Dictyostelium discoideum myosin heavy-chain tail domain. Southern-blot and RFLP analyses indicate that the gene involved, designated mlpA (myosin-like protein), occurs in a single copy in the genome, is a novel Physarum gene and is expressed during amoebal and plasmodial growth and in the dormant forms of both these cell types.
