Chemical compounds from Dictyostelium discoideum repel a plant-parasitic nematode and can protect roots. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Slime mold species in the genus Dictyostelium are considered to have a close relationship with non-parasitic nematodes; they are sympatric in soils and can exhibit interspecific competition for food. We investigated whether this relationship extends to a

Polyphosphate uses mTOR, pyrophosphate, and Rho GTPase components to potentiate bacterial survival in Dictyostelium

mBio, 2023
Human macrophages and the eukaryotic microbe Dictyostelium discoideum ingest bacteria by phagocytosis, and then kill the ingested bacteria. Some pathogenic bacteria secrete linear chains of phosphate residues (polyphosphate; polyP), and the polyP ...

Identification of the protein kinases Pyk3 and Phg2 as regulators of the STATc-mediated response to hyperosmolarity [PDF]

, 2014
Cellular adaptation to changes in environmental osmolarity is crucial for cell survival. In Dictyostelium, STATc is a key regulator of the transcriptional response to hyperosmotic stress. Its phosphorylation and consequent activation is controlled by two

Role of bacterial surface structures on the interaction of Klebsiella pneumoniae with phagocytes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Phagocytosis is a key process of the immune system. The human pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae is a well known example of a pathogen highly resistant to phagocytosis.

Relevant Genes Linked to Virulence Are Required for Salmonella Typhimurium to Survive Intracellularly in the Social Amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum has proven to be a useful model for studying relevant aspects of the host-pathogen interaction. In this work, D.

TRANSLOCATIONS IN DICTYOSTELIUM DISCOIDEUM [PDF]

Genetics, 1985
ABSTRACT Fourteen translocations of independent origin were identified in Dictyostelium discoideum on the basis of segregation anomalies of diploids heterozygous for these chromosome rearrangements, all of which led to the cosegregation of unlinked markers.
