Newly activated genes are:
Adenylate cyclase A (ACA)
PKA
Extracellular cAMP phosphodiesterase PdsA
An intracellular cAMP phosphodiesterase RegA
#Id: 3809
Once all proteins are functioning, a few starving cells start to emit cAMP pulses.
#Id: 3811
#Id: 3817
Neighboring cells respond to cAMP in two ways:
Initiate a movement toward the cAMP pulse for about a minute
Release cAMP of their own
#Id: 3820
The top of the mound continues to emit cAMP pulses and is pushed upwards by the movement of cells underneath
