Discrimination, Crypticity, and Incipient Taxa in Entamoeba [PDF]

, 2012
Persistent difficulties in resolving clear lineages in diverging populations of prokaryotes or unicellular eukaryotes (protistan polyphyletic groups) are challenging the classical species concept.

Mechanistic insights into the T6SS of multi‐drug‐resistant Aeromonas hydrophila and its role in competition and pathogenesis

mLife, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 363-377, August 2025.
Abstract Aeromonas hydrophila, an opportunistic pathogen, often encodes Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) genes. However, the specific functions of T6SS, particularly in the context of clinical strains, remain poorly understood. In this study, we characterize a multi‐drug‐resistant strain, AH54, which possesses a complete and functional T6SS, composed of

A Cytohesin Homolog in Dictyostelium Amoebae

PLoS ONE, 2010
Dictyostelium, an amoeboid motile cell, harbors several paralogous Sec7 genes that encode members of three distinct subfamilies of the Sec7 superfamily of Guanine nucleotide exchange factors. Among them are proteins of the GBF/BIG family present in all eukaryotes. The third subfamily represented with three members in D.

The Dictyostelium model for mitochondrial disease [PDF]

Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2011
Mitochondrial diseases are a diverse family of genetic disorders caused by mutations affecting mitochondrial proteins encoded in either the nuclear or the mitochondrial genome. By impairing mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, they compromise cellular energy production and the downstream consequences in humans are a bewilderingly complex array of ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Dictyostelium intermedium

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
Dictyostelium intermedium is a member of dictyostelids, the unicellular eukaryotes with a unique life cycle, including a social cycle. Despite the high diversity of dictyostelids, only five species' complete mitochondrial genome sequences were reported ...

Annexin, a Protein for All Seasons: From Calcium Dependent Membrane Metabolism to RNA Recognition

BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 7, July 2025.
Annexins are an important protein family traditionally well known to bind to phospholipids and to interact with various proteins in a calcium dependent way. More recently, it has been established that a feature common to the family is also to bind to RNA having a role in translation. In bies70019 article, Vedeler et al.

Convective Instability and Boundary Driven Oscillations in a Reaction-Diffusion-Advection Model

, 2017
In a reaction-diffusion-advection system, with a convectively unstable regime, a perturbation creates a wave train that is advected downstream and eventually leaves the system.

Simple Preparation of Sophisticated Multiresponsive Core‐Crystalline Micelles via an Approach Reminiscent of the Division of Labor in Microorganisms

Small Structures, Volume 6, Issue 7, July 2025.
Seeded growth onto aggregated seed crystallites of a unimer mixture of polymers containing one crystalline block presents fascinating similarities with the aggregation of Dictyostelium discoideum amoebae into slime molds. The mixture subdivides in two groups to form compartmentalized nanoflowers with thin petals surrounding a thicker central section ...

Profilin isoforms in Dictyostelium discoideum

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2007
Eukaryotic cells contain a large number of actin binding proteins of different functions, locations and concentrations. They bind either to monomeric actin (G-actin) or to actin filaments (F-actin) and thus regulate the dynamic rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton.
