The Cell Density Factor CMF Regulates the Chemoattractant Receptor cAR1 in Dictyostelium [PDF]
, 1996 Starving Dictyostelium cells aggregate by chemotaxis to cAMP when a secreted protein called conditioned medium factor (CMF) reaches a threshold concentration.

Developmental decisions in Dictyostelium discoideum
Developmental Biology, 2005 Dictyostelium discoideum is an excellent system in which to study developmental decisions. Synchronous development is triggered by starvation and rapidly generates a limited number of cell types. Genetic and image analyses have revealed the elegant intricacies associated with this simple development system.

The dictyostelium kinome--analysis of the protein kinases from a simple model organism. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2006 Dictyostelium discoideum is a widely studied model organism with both unicellular and multicellular forms in its developmental cycle. The Dictyostelium genome encodes 285 predicted protein kinases, similar to the count of the much more advanced ...

PLoS Genetics, 2009 Organisms like Dictyostelium discoideum, often referred to as DNA damage "extremophiles", can survive exposure to extremely high doses of radiation and DNA crosslinking agents. These agents form highly toxic DNA crosslinks that cause extensive DNA damage.

Developmental decisions in Dictyostelium discoideum [PDF]
Microbiological Reviews, 1994 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 ...

Dictyostelium discoideum transformation by oscillating electric field electroporation
BioTechniques, 2003 Dictyostelium discoideum has been used as a genetically tractable model organism to study many biological phenomena. High-efficiency transformation is a prerequisite for successful genetic screens such as mutant complementation, identification of ...
