CHROMOSOME REARRANGEMENTS IN DICTYOSTELIUM DISCOIDEUM [PDF]
ABSTRACT A tandem duplication (D350(III,III)) of the whiB to radB interval of linkage group III has been characterized. The gene order on the duplication-bearing chromosome is: centromere, whiB500, radB+, whiB+, radB24, bsgA5, acrC4. Slow-growing, duplication-bearing strains (yellow-spored, radiation-resistant) produced four classes of ...

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 ...

Cell migration directionality and speed are independently regulated by RasG and Gβ in Dictyostelium cells in electrotaxis. [PDF]
Motile cells manifest increased migration speed and directionality in gradients of stimuli, including chemoattractants, electrical potential and substratum stiffness.

Evolution of multicellularity in Dictyostelia [PDF]
The well-orchestrated multicellular life cycle of Dictyostelium discoideum has fascinated biologists for over a century. Self-organisation of its amoebas into aggregates, migrating slugs and fruiting structures by pulsatile cAMP signalling and their ...

Living on soup:Macropinocytic feeding in amoebae [PDF]
Macropinocytosis is used by a variety of amoebae for feeding on liquid medium. The amoebae project cups and ruffles from their plasma membrane, driven by actin polymerization, and eventually fuse these back to the membrane, entrapping droplets of medium ...

Conditional expression explains molecular evolution of social genes in a microbe
Genetic diversity in social genes is expected to be shaped by conflict. Here, the authors show that in Dictyostelium discoideum, social genes in fact exhibit diversification patterns consistent with relaxed purifying selection, likely due to their ...

Developmental decisions in Dictyostelium discoideum
A few hours after the onset of starvation, amoebae of Dictyostelium discoideum start to form multicellular aggregates by chemotaxis to centers that emit periodic cyclic AMP signals. There are two major developmental decisions: first, the aggregates either construct fruiting bodies directly, in a process known as culmination, or they migrate for a ...
