The hybrid histidine kinase dhkB regulates spore germination in Dictyostelium discoideum.

Abstract:

:Spore germination is a defined developmental process that marks a critical point in the life cycle of Dictyostelium discoideum. Upon germination the environmental conditions must be conducive to cell growth to ensure survival of emerged amoebae. However, the signal transduction pathways controlling the various aspects of spore germination in large part remain to be elucidated. We have used degenerate PCR to identify dhkB, a two-component histidine kinase, from D. discoideum. DhkB is predicted to be a transmembrane hybrid sensor kinase. The dhkB-null cells develop with normal timing to give what seem to be mature fruiting bodies by 22 to 24 h. However, over the next several hours, the ellipsoidal and encapsulated spores proceed to swell and germinate in situ within the sorus and thus do not respond to the normal inhibitors of germination present within the sorus. The emerged amoebae dehydrate due to the high osmolarity within the sorus, and by 72 h 4% or less of the amoebae remain as spores, while most cells are now nonviable. Precocious germination is suppressed by ectopic activation of or expression of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A. Additionally, at 24 h the intracellular concentration of cAMP of dhkB- spores is 40% that of dhkB+ spores. The results indicate that DHKB regulates spore germination, and a functional DHKB sensor kinase is required for the maintenance of spore dormancy. DHKB probably acts by maintaining an active PKA that in turn is inhibitory to germination.
