Transcriptional Regulation of the Glycogen Phosphorylase-2 Gene in <I>Dictyostelium discoideum</i>
The expression of the <I>glycogen phosphorylase- 2</I> gene (<I>gp2</I>) is initiated during early development and regulated by the extracellular morphogens cAMP and Differentiation Inducing Factor (DIF-1) [1-3]. Glycogen phosphorylase- 2 catalyzes the breakdown of glycogen reserves in developing …

Footprint Analysis of the Transcriptional Control of Glycogen Phosphorylase 2 in Dictyostelium Discoideum
Glycogen phosphorylase 2 (gp-2) is a key enzyme during the development of Dictyostelium discoideum. The gp-2 enzyme breaks down glycogen into glucose monomers that are subsequently used to synthesize the terminal end products of cellular differentiation. This gene is an ideal candidate for studying …

Function of a C-rich region in the transcriptional regulation of the glycogen phosphorylase-2 gene in Dictyostelium discoideum
The cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum is a simple eukaryote that has been used as a model organism for the investigation of eukaryotic cell signaling, regulation of gene expression, and development. Transcription of the gp-2 gene is induced during development and is regulated by …

Generation of cDNA libraries of amoeba, 8 hour, and 12 hour stages of Dictyostelium discoideum
… the life cycle of Dictyostelium discoideum is glycogen turnover. This process is catalyzed by glycogen phosphorylase-2 (gp-2). Since gp-2 expression is first induced during the transition from growth to differentiation, understanding how this gene is controlled may provide some insight into the …

Purification of the proteins that bind to the gp-2 promoter in Dictyostelium discoideum
During <i>Dictyostelium</i> development, glycogen degradation is a crucial event that provides glucose monomers that are utilized to synthesize the essential structural components for cellular differentiation. The degradation is catalyzed by the product of the glycogen phosphorylase-2 gene. Cloning …

Cloning and Characterization of Replication Protein A from Dictyostelium discoideum
… in differentiation-related genes, including the glycogen phosphorylase 2 gene (gp2). Therefore, it is possible that DdRPA is not only a single-stranded DNA binding protein that is used in multiple essential DNA metabolic processes, such as DNA replication, repair and recombination in …

Regulation of glycogen phosphorylase genes in Dictyostelium discoideum
… crucial developmental event in Dictyostelium is glycogen degradation. The degradation of glycogen provides glucose monomers that are used to synthesize structural components necessary for cellular differentiation. Glycogen degradation is catalyzed by glycogen phosphorylase, and two …

The Regulation of Alkaline Phosphatase during the Development of Dictyostelium
… identified during the investigation of <i>glycogen phosphorylase-2 (gp2)</i> regulation. A comparison of the <i>alp</i> and <i>gp2</i> probes used to identify TFII suggests a DNA-binding site, ACAATGN₈₋₁₂CACTA. The ability of TFII to bind specifically with the promoter of two functionally …
