Identification of the Cell Fate Gene Stalky in Dictyostelium Wen-Tsan Chang, Peter C Newell, Julian D Gross  Cell  Volume 87, Issue 3, Pages 471-481 (November 1996) DOI: 10.1016/S0092-8674(00)81367-7

Figure 1 Phenotype of the REMI–Tagged Stalky Mutant Terminal structures formed by (A) wild-type and (B) stkA− mutant on filters, photographed after 36 hr of development. Cell 1996 87, 471-481DOI: (10.1016/S0092-8674(00)81367-7)

Figure 2 Efficiency of Homologous Recombination with Different Constructs Light gray boxes show the cloned fragments with restriction enzyme sites into which the original pDIV5 vector or the URA gene derived from pDIV5 (black boxes) was inserted. Fragment 1 is the fragment rescued from the original REMI insert. C, ClaI; H, HindIII; B, BamHI. “% STK− transformants” corresponds to the fraction of clones resulting from plating URA+ transformants onto SM–agar plates with bacteria that displayed the stalky phenotype. Those transformants that were STK+ presumably resulted from insertion of the transforming plasmid at loci other than stkA. Cell 1996 87, 471-481DOI: (10.1016/S0092-8674(00)81367-7)

Figure 3 The Cell Fate Gene stkA (A) Derived amino acid sequence of the STKA protein. (B) Structure of the stkA cDNA with the two encoded putative zinc fingers. (C) Comparison of the sequence of the 5′ putative zinc finger domain of STKA; the 5′ zinc finger of the erythroid transcription factor GATA-1 (Orkin 1995); and the zinc finger sequences of the GLN3 protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the AREA protein of Aspergillus nidulans, and the NIT2 protein of Neurospora crassa (Marzluf 1993).

Figure 4 Expression of stkA during Development (A) Northern blot analysis of stkA expression in wild-type and stkA− cells probed with the 3′ ClaI-plus-BamHI product derived from fragment 1 in Figure 2. (B) KI targeting strategy for the stkA gene. The circled P corresponds to the putative promoter of the stkA gene. (C) β-galactosidase staining of two culminants of the KI product. Structure a is an intact culminant at 18 hr; structure b is the anterior one-third of a culminant at 27 hr. Note the stained anterior core in structure a.

Figure 5 Nuclear Localization of STKA Protein (A) depicts the structure of the two KI constructs employed. KI-1 is the construct depicted in Figure 4B, and KI-2 is a KI at the BamHI site in stkA. The fusion product formed by KI-2 possesses the two putative nuclear localization sequences (NLS 1 and NLS 2) between the BamHI and the Hind III sites. The amino acid sequences of NLS 1 and NLS 2 are also presented. (B) shows X-gal staining in KI-1 and KI-2 at the culmination stage. Staining was performed as described in Experimental Procedures.

Figure 6 Cell Type–Specific Gene Expression during Development of the Stalky Mutant Northern blot analysis of the expression of prespore cell–specific transcripts psA (D19) and cotC (SP60), prestalk cell–specific transcripts ecmA and ecmB, and sporulation marker spiA during development of wild-type and stkA− cells; IG7 is expressed at a constant level during development and is used as a reference. ecmB* was exposed for an additional period to visualize expression in the wild type. Cell 1996 87, 471-481DOI: (10.1016/S0092-8674(00)81367-7)

Figure 7 β-Galactosidase Staining of lacZ Transformants of stkA− Cells (A) stkA− cells transformed with psA::lacZ, early in culmination. (B) stkA− cells transformed with ecmB::lacZ at the mound stage. (C) stkA− cells transformed with the ST gal construct, late in culmination. Cell 1996 87, 471-481DOI: (10.1016/S0092-8674(00)81367-7)

Figure 8 Developmental Morphology and β-Galactosidase Staining of Mixed Aggregates of Wild-Type and stkA− Cells (A) Developmental morphology of mixed aggregates of wild-type and stkA− mixed in various ratios: a, 100% wild-type cells; b, 90% wild-type and 10% stkA−; c, 75% wild-type and 25% stkA−; d, 50% wild-type and 50% stkA−; e, 100% stkA−. (B) β-galactosidase staining of aggregates formed in a mixture of 90% wild-type and 10% stkA− at different developmental stages: a, slugs and early culminant; b, later culmination stage.

Figure 9 Effect of Overexpressing PKAcat in stkA− Cells (A) Terminal structures formed by the original K-P strain of Anjard et al. 1992 that harbors a plasmid coding for the PKA catalytic subunit under its own promoter, and (B) terminal structures formed by a stkA− K-P strain. This was generated by replacing the URA gene in construct 2 of Figure 2 with the BSRr gene and inserting this by homologous recombination into the K-P strain. (C) Squash of a terminal structure formed by the stkA− K-P cells. Cell 1996 87, 471-481DOI: (10.1016/S0092-8674(00)81367-7)
