Abstract:
During the past year, highlights in sporulation research include the demonstration that phosphorylation of SpoOA is a critical factor in Bacillus subtilis development; the identification of C alpha proteins, adenylyl cyclase and protein kinase A genes in Dictyostelium; proof that an endogenous antisense RNA regulates gene expression in Dictyostelium; and characterization of a second type of differentiated cell in Myxococcus.
