Amino acid repeats cause extraordinary coding sequence variation in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Protein sequences are normally the most conserved elements of genomes owing to purifying selection to maintain their functions. We document an extraordinary amount of within-species protein sequence variation in the model eukaryote Dictyostelium ...

Meeting Report on the Symposium Organized to Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the French Society for Cell Biology

open access: yesBiology of the Cell, Volume 117, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT The French Society for Cell Biology (SBCF) gathers all researchers working in the broad field of cell biology and is actively involved in several missions. Indeed, from communicating about the latest breakthroughs to announcing upcoming events, the SBCF also identifies and nurtures emerging talents while financially supporting young ...

Acute stress and multicellular development alter the solubility of the Dictyostelium Sup35 ortholog ERF3

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
Among sequenced organisms, the genome of Dictyostelium discoideum is unique in that it encodes for a massive amount of repeat-rich sequences in the coding region of genes.

The Parkinson's disease-associated protein DJ-1 plays a positive nonmitochondrial role in endocytosis in Dictyostelium cells

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2017
The loss of function of DJ-1 caused by mutations in DJ1 causes a form of familial Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the role of DJ-1 in healthy and in PD cells is poorly understood. Even its subcellular localization in mammalian cells is uncertain, with

Effect of Retinal on Dictyostelium Cells During Development

open access: yesGenes to Cells, Volume 30, Issue 4, July 2025.
When all‐trans‐retinal was added to the medium, Dictyostelium cells retracted their pseudopodia and became rounded; however, this rounding was not observed at low concentrations. Instead, low concentrations of all‐trans‐retinal increased the frequency of cAMP signaling during cell development.

Centromere sequence and dynamics in Dictyostelium discoideum [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2009
Centromeres play a pivotal role in the life of a eukaryote cell, perform an essential and conserved function, but this has not led to a standard centromere structure. It remains currently unclear, how the centromeric function is achieved by widely differing structures.

Modelling cell movement, cell differentiation, cell sorting and proportion regulation in Dictyostelium discoideum aggregations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Understanding the mechanisms that control tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis is a central goal not only in developmental biology but also has great relevance for our understanding of various diseases, including cancer.

ABC Transporters in Dictyostelium discoideum Development

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters can translocate a broad spectrum of molecules across the cell membrane including physiological cargo and toxins. ABC transporters are known for the role they play in resistance towards anticancer agents in chemotherapy of cancer patients.

Assets of the non-pathogenic microorganism Dictyostelium discoideum as a model for the study of eukaryotic extracellular vesicles [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/pa]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2013
Dictyostelium discoideum microvesicles have recently been presented as a valuable model for eukaryotic extracellular vesicles. Here, the advantages of D.

Iron metabolism and resistance to infection by invasive bacteria in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum

open access: yesFrontiers 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 capable
