  • The multicellular developmental program of Dictyostelium is a response to starvation with the goals being the survival of some cells, in the form of protected spores, and dispersal of the survivors in hopes of finding an environment that supports growth.

  • Within the amino terminal sequences, yeast and other GCN2 proteins have a degenerate kinase domain of unknown function [ 31 ] . There is a 63 amino acid long sequence in IfkA that has 38% identity to the V and VI subdomains of the IfkA/B kinase domain, indicating the presence of an amino terminal pseudokinase domain in the Dictyostelium protein (fig.

  • One example is the ATP-binding site which consists of GESGAGKT (179-187 in Dictyostelium myosin II, DmyoII) and NxNSSR-FGK (233-241, DmyoII).

  • This includes the characteristic features peculiar to the kinase domain of GCN2 proteins, the m1, m2, and m3 motifs of the HisRS domain, and a cluster of positively charged residues at the C-terminus that are thought to function in ribosome binding and dimerization [ 31 37 41 ] . Within the kinase domain, the Dictyostelium proteins possess an inserted sequence between the 4th and 5th kinase subdomains that is also found in this position in all known GCN2-like proteins.
