Genetic Analysis of the Gene for N-Acetylglucosaminidase in DICTYOSTELIUM DISCOIDEUM

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Three independent mutations affecting N-acetylglucosaminidase in Dictyostelium discoideum were mapped by the parasexual system and found to lie on linkage group IV. These mutations as well as two others were found to be recessive and noncomplementing in heterozygous diploids. Thus they all appear to affect the nagA locus. Since two of the mutations give rise to thermolabile enzyme, this defines the structural gene for N-acetylglucosaminidase.
