Isozyme patterns and cellular differentiation in Schizophyllum

Molecular and General Genetics MGG Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Isozyme patterns of four enzymes were examined from two types of differentiated cells of Schizophyllum commune. Previous studies (Wang and Raper, 1970) demonstrated dramatically different isozyme patterns for each of these enzymes; however, the studies reported here reveal no isozyme differences for these enzymes previously correlated to cellular differentiation. Possible explanations for thesediscrepancies are discussed. These results illustrate difficulties inherent in ascribing differences in cellular proteins or nucleic acids to differentiation.
