Identification of genes dependent on the MADS box transcription factor SrfA in Dictyostelium discoideum development.
Analysis of microarrays containing 6,345 Dictyostelium discoideum genes has identified 21 whose expression is dependent on the MADS box transcription factor SrfA. In wild-type cells, all of these genes are induced late in development. At least four of them are necessary for proper spore differentiation, stability, and/or germination.
