First Record of Potentially Pathogenic Amoeba Vermamoeba vermiformis (Lobosea: Gymnamoebia) Isolated from a Freshwater of Dokdo Island in the East Sea, Korea [PDF]
Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2016 Vermamoeba vermiformis is a very important free-living amoeba for human health in association with Legionnaires’ disease and keratitis. This interesting amoeba was firstly isolated from a freshwater of Dokdo (island), which was historically used for ...

Phylogenetic reconstruction and evolution of the Rab GTPase gene family in Amoebozoa [PDF]
, 2021 Rab GTPase is a paralog-rich gene family that controls the maintenance of the eukaryotic cell compartmentalization system. Diverse eukaryotes have varying numbers of Rab paralogs. Currently, little is known about the evolutionary pattern of Rab GTPase in

Adhesion of Dictyostelium Amoebae to Surfaces: A Brief History of Attachments
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Dictyostelium amoebae adhere to extracellular material using similar mechanisms to metazoan cells. Notably, the cellular anchorage loci in Amoebozoa and Metazoa are both arranged in the form of discrete spots and incorporate a similar repertoire of ...

Comparing the Dictyostelium and Entamoeba Genomes Reveals an Ancient Split in the Conosa Lineage.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2005 The Amoebozoa are a sister clade to the fungi and the animals, but are poorly sampled for completely sequenced genomes. The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum and amitochondriate pathogen Entamoeba histolytica are the first Amoebozoa with genomes ...

Evolution of meiosis and sex in Amoebozoa [PDF]
, 2020 O sexo é inerente à vida eucariótica. Distante do senso comum, sexo pode ser definido como plasmogamia (fusão celular) seguida, eventualmente, de meiose.

Open Research Europe, 2023 G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are seven-transmembrane proteins and constitute the largest group of receptors within eukaryotes. The presence of a large set of GPCRs in the unicellular Amoebozoa was surprising and is indicative of the largely ...

Genetic Evidence for Sexuality in Cochliopodium (Amoebozoa) [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2017 Microbial eukaryotes, including amoeboids, display diverse and complex life cycles that may or may not involve sexual reproduction. A recent comprehensive gene inventory study concluded that the Amoebozoa are ancestrally sexual. However, the detection of sex genes in some lineages known for their potentially sexual life cycle was very low. Particularly,
