Dictyostelium discoideum sporulates in response to starvation following a developmental program. Germination is characterized by two visible changes, spore swelling and the emergence of amoeba from the spore capsule. Several studies have indicated that an additional process termed spore activation is also required, but the physiological changes that characterize the three phases are largely uncharacterized. We used microarrays to monitor global transcriptional transitions as a surrogate measure of the physiological changes that occur during germination. Using two independent methods to induce germination, we identified changes in mRNA levels that characterized the germination process rather than changes that resulted from the induction method. We found that germination is characterized by three transitions. The first transition occurs during activation, while the spores appear dormant, the largest transition occurs when swelling begins, and the third transition occurs when emergence begins. These findings indicate that activation and swelling are not passive occurrences, such as dilution of inhibitors or spore rehydration, but are active processes that are accompanied by dramatic events in mRNA degradation and de novo transcription. These findings confirm and extend earlier reports that genes such as celA are regulated during spore germination. We also found by mutation analysis that the unconventional myosin gene myoI, which is induced during early germination, plays roles in the maintenance of dormancy and in spore swelling. This finding suggests that some of the observed transcriptional changes are required for spore germination."xsd:string |
