Fig. 3. Effect of P4H1 deletion on developmental marker expression in
Dictyostelium. (A) Western blot analysis for expression of
the early pre-spore marker SP85 (mAb 16.1) and the late pre-spore marker SpiA
(anti-SpiA) in normal (Ax3 and bsr+), P4H1a-
(HW288) and pgtA- cells. Times indicate hours of
starvation under ambient conditions. (B-E) Microscopic analysis of
normal (Ax3) and P4H1a- cells transfected with various
promoter::bacterial ß-galactosidase reporter constructs, developed under
ambient conditions and processed for ß-galactosidase activity, which
deposits a dark blue precipitate. Shown are representative examples of
pre-culminants or slugs expressing (B) the pre-spore cell marker PspA-Gal
(strain HW405), (C) the pre-stalk A and 0 cell marker
ecmA0::lacZ (HW408), (D) the pre-stalk A cell marker
ecmA::lacZ (strain HW406) or (E) the pre-stalk 0 cell marker
ecm0::lacZ (HW409). Anterior tips point upward.
