Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The development of Dictyostelium discoideum cells, as measured by spore yield, is somewhat more sensitive to the presence of BUdR during vegetative growth than is growth itself. Observations on the development of control and BUdR-grown cells, their protein labelling patterns and assays of 4 developmentally regulated proteins all reveal a consistent picture. BUdR appears to block spore formation by partially inhibiting several or many different earlier events during development. The relative sensitivity of development compared to growth to inhibition by the drug may be a consequence of the nature of the developmental process rather than of some unique specificity of the inhibitor.
