Abstract
In Physarum polycephalum, histone mRNA begins to accumulate 3 h before the S phase. We show that histone synthesis was limited to the S phase and that the mRNA that accumulated in the G2-phase cytoplasm could be translated in vitro. Thus, recruitment of stored mature histone mRNA did not occur until the S phase began.
