Role of PKD2 in Rheotaxis in Dictyostelium [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The sensing of mechanical forces modulates several cellular responses as adhesion, migration and differentiation. Transient elevations of calcium concentration play a key role in the activation of cells following mechanical stress, but it is still unclear how eukaryotic cells convert a mechanical signal into an ion flux.

Nonconstant Positive Steady States for a Predator–Prey System With Signal‐Dependent Diffusion
Mathematische Nachrichten, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates a highly nonlinear predator–prey reaction–diffusion system featuring signal‐dependent prey diffusion, where the motility of the prey is modulated by a chemical signal released by predators. For unbounded functional responses, we establish the global‐in‐time existence and uniform‐in‐time boundedness of classical ...

The effect of quinoline anti-malarial drugs on the endolysosomal and secretory pathways of plasmodium falciparum strain 3D7, dictyostelium discoideum and mammalian A549 cells [PDF]
, 2007 Includes bibliographical references (leaves 92-109).The precise mechanisms of action of the quinoline anti-malarial drugs are uncertain, although they have been found to influence endocytosis, vesicular processing and secretion in malarial parasites and ...

Beyond single cells: Ten years of commercial lattice light‐sheet microscopy
Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Lattice light‐sheet microscopy (LLSM) enables gentle, rapid, volumetric fluorescence imaging of living biological systems. The technique employs Bessel beam interference to produce a light‐sheet which retains its thickness over a relatively large field‐of‐view compared to other light‐sheets.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Arginine metabolism in plants is targeted by phytopathogens such as Pseudomonas syringae strains, which produce toxins that affect enzymes of plant arginine metabolism, causing devastating infections in crops. In this work, the structural and functional properties of plant N‐acetylornithine glutamate acetyltransferase (NAOGAT), the key ...

Regulation of the actin cytoskeleton by an interaction of IQGAP related protein GAPA with filamin and cortexillin I. [PDF]
, 2010 Filamin and Cortexillin are F-actin crosslinking proteins in Dictyostelium discoideum allowing actin filaments to form three-dimensional networks. GAPA, an IQGAP related protein, is required for cytokinesis and localizes to the cleavage furrow during ...
