Alkaline Phosphatase in Dictyostelium discoideum [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1965 Several phosphatases have been demonstrated in Dictyostelium discoideum. The alkaline phosphatase, pH optimum 9·0, is a 5′-nucleotidase, attacking adenosine monophosphate and deoxyadenosine monophosphate, but catalyses also hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate.

Microscale adhesion patterns for the precise localization of amoeba [PDF]
, 2008 In order to get a better understanding of amoeba-substrate interactions in the processes of cellular adhesion and directional movement, we engineered glass surfaces with defined local adhesion characteristics at a micrometric scale. Amoeba (Dictyostelium

Retrotransposon Domestication and Control in Dictyostelium discoideum
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Transposable elements, identified in all eukaryotes, are mobile genetic units that can change their genomic position. Transposons usually employ an excision and reintegration mechanism, by which they change position, but not copy number.

Twisted scroll waves organize Dictyostelium mucoroides slugs [PDF]
, 1997 Cellular slime moulds (Dictyosteloids) are characterised by at least two different modes of slug migration. Most species, e.g. Dictyostelium mucoroides, produce a stalk continuously during slug migration, while a few species, e.g.

The Social Amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum Is Highly Resistant to Polyglutamine Aggregation*
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2015 Background: The Dictyostelium proteome is predicted to encode a vast amount of homopolymeric amino acid tracts, including long polyglutamine tracts. Results: Proteins with long polyglutamine tracts are soluble in Dictyostelium.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Resistance of
BMC Research Notes, 2010 Background Saponin is a mild detergent commonly used to permeabilize cells prior to immunofluorescence labeling of intracellular proteins. It has previously been used to that effect in Dictyostelium discoideum amoebae.

Patterns of cell movement within the Dictyostelium slug revealed by cell type-specific, surface labeling of living cells [PDF]
, 1994 There are cells acattered in the rear, prespore region of the Dictyostelium slug that share many of the properties of the prestalk cells and that are therefore called anterior-like cells (ALCs).

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.
