A cell-cycle-dependent protein of Physarum polycephalum revealed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. 1983

M Pahlic, and J J Tyson

Silver-stained two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels of Physarum polycephalum extracts have revealed no major changes in protein accumulation during the synchronous nuclear division cycle. However, one protein, or apparent Mr 32 000 and isoelectric point 4.9, shows a reproducible ten-fold increase in total amount between early G2 phase and metaphase. This protein represents about 0.005% of total plasmodial protein.
