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.

Production of antibacterial compounds by a Steely hybrid polyketide synthase in Dictyostelium. [PDF]
FEBS Open BioBy selecting appropriate production species under optimised culture conditions, new chlorinated dibenzofuran compounds, which previously could not be analysed in sufficient quantities, were identified from cellular slime mould fruiting bodies. The strong antibacterial activity exhibited by these compounds suggests a link to the ecological function of ...

The proppin Bcas3 and its interactor KinkyA localize to the early phagophore and regulate autophagy [PDF]
, 2021 To resolve the signaling mechanisms that mediate the starvation-induced processes of Dictyostelium sporulation and encystation, we performed insertional mutagenesis on cells harboring an mRFP-tagged spore gene.

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.

Cooperative cell motility during tandem locomotion of amoeboid cells. [PDF]
, 2016 Streams of migratory cells are initiated by the formation of tandem pairs of cells connected head to tail to which other cells subsequently adhere. The mechanisms regulating the transition from single to streaming cell migration remain elusive, although ...

Visualization of c-di-GMP in multicellular Dictyostelium stages
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 The bacterial signaling molecule cyclic diguanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is only synthesized and utilized by the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum among eukaryotes.
