Protein: Acyl-CoA-binding protein (ACBP) [Cleaved into: SDF-2] (Q5FXM5)
Organism: Dictyostelium discoideum (Social amoeba)
Function: Binds to acyl-CoA. Processed into the SDF-2 (spore differentiation factor 2) a peptide which triggers sporulation. SDF-2 appears to stimulate prestalk cells to release additional SDF-2 by acting through a signal transduction pathway that also involves dhkA, regA and PKA. Induces encapsulation of prespore cells in a dhkA-dependent manner. GABA induces the release of acbA from prespore cells and induces the exposure of tagC on the surface of prestalk cells where it can convert acbA to SDF-2. Glutamate acts as a competitive inhibitor and is also able to inhibit induction of sporulation by SDF-2.
