Abstract

The expression of an α-tubulin gene ( altB1 (NαTu) [(1987) J. Mol. Biol. 193, 427-438]) of Physarum polycephalum (strain CLdAXE) was found to be governed by a developmental switch since mRNA transcripts were detected, by S 1 nuclease analysis, in the plasmodial but not the amoebal phase of the life-cycle. The conclusion that the altB1 (NαTu) allele codes for a plasmodial specific α-tubulin isotype is supported by recent amino acid sequence data.
