Comparative genomics of the social amoebae Dictyostelium discoideum and Dictyostelium purpureum [PDF]
Genome Biology, 2011 Abstract Background The social amoebae (Dictyostelia) are a diverse group of Amoebozoa that achieve multicellularity by aggregation and undergo morphogenesis into fruiting bodies with terminally differentiated spores and stalk cells.

Functional Analysis of Spontaneous Cell Movement under Different Physiological Conditions [PDF]
, 2008 Cells can show not only spontaneous movement but also tactic responses to environmental signals. Since the former can be regarded as the basis to realize the latter, playing essential roles in various cellular functions, it is important to investigate ...

Pteridines, 2017 We have developed a fluorescence assay system to monitor the protein levels of human phenylalanine hydroxylase (hPAH). Wild-type (WT) and three mutant hPAHs (I65T, L255V, and S349L) were expressed as green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged forms in a PAH ...

Twisted scroll waves organize Dictyostelium mucoroides slugs [PDF]
, 1997 Cellular slime moulds (Dictyosteloids) are characterised by at least two different modes of slug migration. Most species, e.g. Dictyostelium mucoroides, produce a stalk continuously during slug migration, while a few species, e.g.

Role of PKD2 in Rheotaxis in Dictyostelium [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The sensing of mechanical forces modulates several cellular responses as adhesion, migration and differentiation. Transient elevations of calcium concentration play a key role in the activation of cells following mechanical stress, but it is still unclear how eukaryotic cells convert a mechanical signal into an ion flux.

Light Affects Host-Symbiont Dynamics in the Non-Photosynthetic Social Amoeba Symbiosis. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study highlights light‐regulated symbiosis between amoebae and two distinct Paraburkholderia species, indicating that light may be crucial for regulating amoebae‐symbiont dynamics. ABSTRACT Light significantly influences phototactic behaviors and host‐bacterial interactions of photosynthetic microorganisms such as algae.
