title: Spore coat genes SP60 and SP70 of Dictyostelium discoideum.
abstract: We cloned and sequenced the genes for two of the major proteins found in spore coats of Dictyostelium discoideum. The predicted translation product of each of these genes starts with a hydrophobic signal sequence that is subsequently cleaved. Expression of these spore coat genes is coordinate in prespore cells.
