RNA-Seq analysis of wild-type and ttpA-C240ins mutant D. discoideum amebae in surface and liquid growth
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In many eukaryotes, mRNAs containing specific AU-rich motifs are regulated by proteins of the tristetraprolin (TTP) family, which bind to these motifs through a tandem zinc finger (TZF) domain. This binding leads to promotion of subsequent deadenylation and decay, partly through a conserved carboxyl-terminal CNOT1 binding domain. We explored the physiological role of the single TTP family member (TtpA) expressed in Dictyostelium discoideum. This study shows the effect of an insertional mutation within the TZF domain (ttpA-C240ins), which creates a null genotype, evaluated in amebae in growth medium during surface culture and liquid culture under axenic conditions. The mutant cells exhibited severe growth defects and a multinucleate phenotype during liquid culture, but not in surface culture.
