Abstract |
|---|
ecmB and mrrA are expressed in the cups that cradle Dictyostelium spore-heads and MybE is necessary for their expression in lower but not upper cup cells. A Myb site within the mrrA promoter is necessary for expression in both cups. Thus multiple Myb proteins are required for ancillary stalk differentiation.
