European Journal of Cell Biology, 2006 Annexins are a highly conserved ubiquitous family of Ca2+- and phospholipid-binding proteins present in nearly all eukaryotic cells. Analysis of the Dictyostelium genome revealed the presence of two annexin genes, the annexin C1 gene (nxnA) giving rise to two isoforms of 47 and 51 kDa (previously synexin), and the annexin C2 gene (nxnB) coding for a 56-

Cells, 2019 Dyskerin is a protein involved in the formation of small nucleolar and small Cajal body ribonucleoproteins. These complexes participate in RNA pseudouridylation and are also components of the telomerase complex required for telomere elongation.

Triparental inheritance in Dictyostelium [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018 Sex promotes the recombination and reassortment of genetic material and is prevalent across eukaryotes, although our knowledge of the molecular details of sexual inheritance is scant in several major lineages. In social amoebae, sex involves a promiscuous mixing of cytoplasm before zygotes consume the majority of cells, but for technical ...

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2006 The 34 Mb genome of Dictyostelium discoideum is carried on 6 chromosomes and has been fully sequenced by an international consortium. The sequence was assembled on the classical and physical maps that had been built up over the years and refined by HAPPY mapping.

Lysosomes appear as the auto-fluorescent vacuoles in Dictyostelium discoideum cells
Pteridines, 2016 Dictyostelium discoideum cells contain auto-fluorescent vacuoles. To determine the identity of these vacuoles, the fluorescent dye 4-nitro-7-(1-piperazinyl)-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-PZ) was used to stain the lysosomes in D. discoideum cells. Neither the

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 ...

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017 Infections with filamentous fungi are common to all animals, but attention is rising especially due to the increasing incidence and high mortality rates observed in immunocompromised human individuals. Here, Aspergillus fumigatus and other members of its
