In those proteins, it is known that WD repeats form polycephalum cells were examined at both the protein a β-propeller structure. Furthermore, to date many pro- and mRNA levels. Among the five cell cycle stages of teins that have a domain homologous with the primary P. polycephalum , the plasmodia, microplasmodia, and structure of tectonin have been described [6-9]. Tectonin sclerotia contained both tectonin I and tectonin II; the domains in these proteins perform various functions in spores did not cont
