Developmental regulation of alpha-mannosidase in Dictyostelium discoideum.
The specific activity of alpha-mannosidase (EC 3.2.1.24) has been found to increase more than a thousandfold during development of the cellular slime mold, Dictyostelium discoideum. The enzyme accumulates in both spore and stalk cells. Studies with preferential inhibitors of macromolecular synthesis indicate that accumulation of alpha-mannosidase requires concomitant protein synthesis and prior ribonucleic acid synthesis. Control of the period of synthesis by the overall developmental program is demonstrated in two temporally deranged morphological mutants. alpha-Mannosidase is found in lysosomes of D. discoideum in association with other acid hydrolases which may be involved in metabolism of extracellular polysaccharide.
