We found the change of the intracellular distribution of actin filaments associated with the cellular morphological changes from myxoamoebae to microcysts, and the induction of syntheses of some species of stress proteins, among which 66kD protein, p66 was most prominently induced (1,2). But we did not know whether the induction of these proteins are completely necessary for the process of cyst formation. In this report, we examined the effects of the inhibition of RNA and protein syntheses using some inhibitors for their syntheses on stress-induced microcyst formation to know whether the expression of new RNA and proteins are necessary for the induction of morphological changes. And we showed that newly synthesized RNA and protein (s) were necessary for the stress-induced microcyst formation.}, pages = {23--27}, title = {RESPONSE OF A TRUE SLIME MOLD, Physarum polycephalum, TO SALT STRESS II : The Effects of The Inhibitors for RNA and Protein Syntheses on Stress-induced Microcyst Formation}, volume = {48}, year = {1998} }
