Analysis of Chemotaxis in Dictyostelium [PDF]
, 2011 Dictyostelium discoideum is an excellent model organism for the study of directed cell migration, since Dictyostelium cells show robust chemotactic responses to the chemoattractant cAMP. Many powerful experimental tools are applicable, including forward and reverse genetics, biochemistry, microscopy, and proteomics.

Origin and evolution of the slime molds (Mycetozoa) [PDF]
, 1997 The Mycetozoa include the cellular (dictyostelid), acellular (myxogastrid), and protostelid slime molds. However, available molecular data are in disagreement on both the monophyly and phylogenetic position of the group.

Protein tandem repeats that produce frameshifts can generate new structural states and functions
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.We explored an alternative protein structure landscape by analyzing amino acid sequences from frameshifted tandem repeats—regions prone to frameshifts. These frameshifts, especially in short repeats, lead to more drastic changes than in non‐repetitive regions, often altering structure, function, localization, and potentially contributing to disease ...

Biology of the Cell, Volume 117, Issue 10, October 2025.The morphodynamical plasticity of the endolysosomal system supports the formation and function of specialized intracellular compartments, as exemplified by the pigment organelles in skin cells. In epidermal melanocytes and keratinocytes, membrane trafficking and remodeling coordinate tissue pigmentation and protect the genome from photodamage ...

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013 Dictyostelium cells are forest soil amoebae, which feed on bacteria and proliferate as solitary cells until bacteria are consumed. Starvation triggers a change in life style, forcing cells to gather into aggregates to form multicellular organisms ...

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 36, September 1, 2025.Stereochemically defined inositol pyrophosphate isomers (PP‐InsP4) were synthesized and assigned by NMR spectroscopy using a chiral solvating reagent. In the form of isotopically labeled standards, they were applied in CE‐MS‐based profiling of plant extracts and kinase assays, enabling structural reassignment and functional insight into enzymatic ...
