    Notes: Abstract Heterokaryons and hybrid cells, which are extremely useful for research in cell biology, can be produced artificially by treating cells with either polyethylene glycol or certain inactivated viruses that alter the plasma membrane. We report here a novel cell-fusion inducing factor secreted by CK-8 strain cells of cellular slime mold Polysphondylium pallidum. Treatment of other strains or other species of cellular slime molds, such as NC-4 of Dictyostelium discoideum with the diluted fraction, containing molecules larger than 50 kDa, of the conditioned medium of CK-8 cell culture induces cell fusion at high frequency and produces multinucleated large cells. This cell fusion is inducible between cells of either a single strain or of two different strains of cellular slime molds.

    Notes: Abstract  The DNA sequences of cytochrome oxidase (subunits 1, 2 and 3) genes of the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum mitochondria were determined. The genes for subunits 1 and 2 have a single continuous ORF (COX1/2) which contains four group-I introns. The insertion sites of the two group-I introns (DdOX1/2.2 and DdOX1/2.3) coincide with those of fungal and algal group-I introns, as well as a liverwort group-I intron, in the cytochrome oxidase subunit 1. Interestingly, intron DdOX1/2.2 has two free-standing ORFs in a loop (L8) which have similar amino-acid sequences and are homologous to ai4 DNA endonuclease (I-Sce II) and bi4 RNA maturase found in group-I introns of Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondrial DNA. Two group-I introns (DdOX1/2.3 and DdOX1/2.4) also have a free-standing ORF in loop 1 and loop 2, respectively. These results show that these group-I introns and the intronic ORFs have evolved from the same ancestral origin, but that these ORFs have been propagated independently.
