title: Cell-cell signaling during Dictyostelium development.
abstract: Specific proteins and peptides, as well as cAMP, are used as intercellular signals in Dictyostelium. Our understanding of the signal transduction pathways activated by these signals has been expanded by inclusion of newly characterized proteins. cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and its associated phosphodiesterase, RegA, play multiple roles in these pathways.
