Phosphorylation of spore coat proteins during development of Dictyostelium discoideum. 1983

S J Delaney, and D G Wilkinson, and B D Hames

Immunological evidence is presented which confirms that pp95, one of the major phosphoproteins accumulated in development of the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum, is identical with spore coat protein SP13. The site of phosphorylation is identified as phosphoserine. The second major phosphorylated component, pp74, corresponds to two co-migrating spore coat proteins known collectively as SP74.
