The Dictyostelium Centrosome [PDF]
Cells, 2021 The centrosome of Dictyostelium amoebae contains no centrioles and consists of a cylindrical layered core structure surrounded by a corona harboring microtubule-nucleating γ-tubulin complexes. It is the major centrosomal model beyond animals and yeasts.

Effect of Retinal on Dictyostelium Cells During Development. [PDF]
Genes CellsWhen all‐trans‐retinal was added to the medium, Dictyostelium cells retracted their pseudopodia and became rounded; however, this rounding was not observed at low concentrations. Instead, low concentrations of all‐trans‐retinal increased the frequency of cAMP signaling during cell development.

Metabolic Profile Associated With Encystation in Acanthamoeba. [PDF]
J Eukaryot MicrobiolABSTRACT The genus Acanthamoeba includes widespread protozoa that can cause severe infections in humans. Their ability to form resistant cysts within infected tissues complicates treatment, making it essential to understand the encystation process for developing effective therapeutic strategies.

Dissecting the function of Atg1 complex in Dictyostelium autophagy reveals a connection with the pentose phosphate pathway enzyme transketolase [PDF]
Open Biology, 2015 The network of protein–protein interactions of the Dictyostelium discoideum autophagy pathway was investigated by yeast two-hybrid screening of the conserved autophagic proteins Atg1 and Atg8.

Bacterial Survival in Dictyostelium [PDF]
BIO-PROTOCOL, 2017 We performed an assay to test the ability of different E. coli strains to survive inside amoebal cells after ingestion. In the assay we incubated bacteria together with cells of Dictyostelium discoideum for six hours. After co-incubation most of the uningested bacteria were removed by centrifugation and the remaining uningested bacteria were killed by ...

Luminal Phospholipase D Attacks Bacterial Membranes in Dictyostelium discoideum Phagosomes. [PDF]
Mol MicrobiolThis study shows that PldX, a luminal Phospholipase D, is necessary for the efficient destruction of ingested Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria in Dictyostelium discoideum phagosomes. PldX and the AlyL lysozyme together attack the bacterial membrane and permeabilize it. To date, the molecular substrate of PldX remains to be determined. ABSTRACT Phagocytic

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.
