A Comprehensive Review on Capillary Electrophoresis–Mass Spectrometry in Advancing Biomolecular Research

open access: yesELECTROPHORESIS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review provides an in‐depth exploration of capillary electrophoresis–mass spectrometry (CE–MS) in biomolecular research from 2020 to 2024. CE–MS emerges as a versatile and powerful tool due to its numerous advantages, facilitating the analysis of various biomolecules, including proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides, and other metabolites ...

Resistance of Dictyostelium discoideum membranes to saponin permeabilization

open access: yesBMC 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.

Polymorphic members of the lag gene family mediate kin discrimination in Dictyostelium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Self and kin discrimination are observed in most kingdoms of life and are mediated by highly polymorphic plasma membrane proteins. Sequence polymorphism, which is essential for effective recognition, is maintained by balancing selection.

Legionella pneumophila modulates the host cytoskeleton by an effector of transglutaminase activity

open access: yesmLife, EarlyView.
Abstract The bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila delivers more than 330 effector proteins into host cells through its Dot/Icm type IV secretion system (T4SS) to facilitate its intracellular replication. A number of these effectors modulate organelle trafficking pathways to create a membrane‐bound niche called the Legionella‐containing vacuole ...

Cooperative predation in the social amoebae Dictyostelium discoideum.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
The eukaryotic amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is commonly used to study sociality. The amoebae cooperate during development, exhibiting altruism, cheating, and kin-discrimination, but growth while preying on bacteria has been considered asocial. Here we

Dynamical strategies for obstacle avoidance during Dictyostelium discoideum aggregation: a Multi-agent system model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Chemotaxis, the movement of an organism in response to chemical stimuli, is a typical feature of many microbiological systems. In particular, the social amoeba \textit{Disctyostelium discoideum} is widely used as a model organism, but it is not still ...

Stochastic noise and synchronisation during Dictyostelium aggregation make cAMP oscillations robust [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The molecular network, which underlies the oscillations in the concentration of adenosine 3′, 5′-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) during the aggregation phase of starvation-induced development in Dictyostelium discoideum, achieves remarkable levels of robust ...

Simple Preparation of Sophisticated Multiresponsive Core‐Crystalline Micelles via an Approach Reminiscent of the Division of Labor in Microorganisms

open access: yesSmall Structures, EarlyView.
Seeded growth onto aggregated seed crystallites of a unimer mixture of polymers containing one crystalline block presents fascinating similarities with the aggregation of Dictyostelium discoideum amoebae into slime molds. The mixture subdivides in two groups to form compartmentalized nanoflowers with thin petals surrounding a thicker central section ...

Identification and phylogenetic analysis of Dictyostelium discoideum kinesin proteins

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2003
Background Kinesins constitute a large superfamily of motor proteins in eukaryotic cells. They perform diverse tasks such as vesicle and organelle transport and chromosomal segregation in a microtubule- and ATP-dependent manner.

Moving the Research Forward: The Best of British Biology Using the Tractable Model System Dictyostelium discoideum

open access: yesCells, 2021
The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum provides an excellent model for research across a broad range of disciplines within biology. The organism diverged from the plant, yeast, fungi and animal kingdoms around 1 billion years ago but retains common ...
