Identification and phylogenetic analysis of
BMC Genomics, 2003 Background Kinesins constitute a large superfamily of motor proteins in eukaryotic cells. They perform diverse tasks such as vesicle and organelle transport and chromosomal segregation in a microtubule- and ATP-dependent manner.

Pattern formation in Dictyostelium
Cold Spring Harbor Monograph Archive, 1984 INTRODUCTION Upon starvation, amoebae of the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium undergo a program of development in which individual cells aggregate to form a multicellular slug and, subsequently, a fruiting body consisting of stalk cells and spores (Loomis 1982).

Models of Dictyostelium discoideum Aggregation [PDF]
, 1997 Since its discovery in the 1940’s, the life cycle of the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum has attracted the interest of developmental biologists. It involves a relatively simple transition from unicellular to multicellular organization. Briefly, amoebae feed on bacteria in the soil and divide.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Resistance to phagocyte killing is an important virulence factor in mycobacteria. Dictyostelium has been used to study the interaction between phagocytes and bacteria, given its similarity to the mammalian macrophage.

Developmental decisions in Dictyostelium discoideum
Developmental Biology, 2005 Dictyostelium discoideum is an excellent system in which to study developmental decisions. Synchronous development is triggered by starvation and rapidly generates a limited number of cell types. Genetic and image analyses have revealed the elegant intricacies associated with this simple development system.

PLoS Genetics, 2009 Organisms like Dictyostelium discoideum, often referred to as DNA damage "extremophiles", can survive exposure to extremely high doses of radiation and DNA crosslinking agents. These agents form highly toxic DNA crosslinks that cause extensive DNA damage.

Dictyostelium development: Lower STATs [PDF]
Current Biology, 1997 The discovery of a STAT protein in Dictyostelium indicates that this organism uses phosphotyrosine-SH2-domain signalling during development. Such signalling is lacking in yeast and its appearance may therefore be an early step in the evolution of multicellularity.

BMC Microbiology, 2006 Background Development of the post-genomic age in Dictyostelium will require the existence of rapid and reliable methods to disrupt genes that would allow the analysis of entire gene families and perhaps the possibility to undertake the complete knock ...
