Abstract: | In the fungusPodospora anserina, themodC mutations inhibit the sexual female organ differentiation. Previous results have suggested that the plasma membrane of this mutant may be altered. Proteins solubilized from highly purified plasmalemma from a wild-type and threemodC mutant strains were studied by one- and two-dimensional electrophoresis. Isoelectric focusing revealed in the wild-type strain about 80 polypeptide spots whose molecular weight ranged from 15,000 to 80,000 daltons; 65% of the spots were between 20,000 and 60,000 daltons, and 60% were in the 6.5–7.5 pH zone. The only difference inprotein noted between wild-type and the threemodC mutants was that the threemodC mutants lacked a plasmalemma protein of Mr=42,000 and of pI=6.7. These results suggest a close relationship between plasma membrane proteins and differentiation in this eukaryotic organism. |
