Dictyostelium can utilize one of three survival strategies when food starvation-

(1) Microcyst formation, favoured in dark & wet conditions, or ammonia levels are high.
(2) Zygote formation, favoured in dark & wet conditions, & triggered by ethylene produced by the cells.
(3) Cell aggregation & differentiation

More detailed footprinting requires a smaller molecule that can

fit into the nooks and crannies of the DNA–protein complex and reveal more of the subtleties of the interaction. A favorite tool for this job is the methylating agent dimethyl sulfate (DMS).

FEN 1 functions as an endonuclease, but it also has a 5 '-3' exonuclease activity. In DNA repair reactions, FEN 1 may cleave next to a displaced nucleotide and then use its exonuclease activity to remove adjacent material.
