High impact information on csaA

Nevertheless, the expression levels of other developmental genes such as acaA, csaA, cotA-C, and spiA appeared to be altered in the GP138-null mutants [1].
Moreover, they do not accumulate the adhesion protein, gp80, which is encoded by the cAMP-induced gene, csaA [2].
The 80L5C4 epitope overlaps with the homophilic binding site of the cell adhesion molecule gp80 of Dictyostelium [3].
