Beta-poly-L-malate (PMA) is a highly soluble polyanion specifically synthesized during the plasmodial stage of the life cycle in Physarum polycephalum. The polymer partitions in a growth-dependent fashion between cell nuclei, the cytoplasm and the culture medium, where it is slowly hydrolyzed. It strongly interacts with certain soluble nuclear proteins suggesting the function as a mobile matrix involved in stock-piling of such molecules and required in the synchronization of the nuclear cell division typical for plasmodia. It is synthesized continuously over the cell cycle during growth involving a PMA polymerase that seems genetically related to the enzyme catalyzing in certain bacteria the polymerization of poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate.
