Fruiting bodies of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum increase spore transport by Drosophila
BackgroundMany microbial phenotypes are the product of cooperative interactions among cells, but their putative fitness benefits are often not well understood.

Silanes to Silatranes: Robust Functionalization for Single‐Molecule Force Spectroscopy
3‐(aminopropyl)silatrane (APS) has superior stability for surface functionalization in single‐molecule force spectroscopy experiments compared to conventional silane‐based methods. This paper utilizes bacterial adhesin attachment to demonstrate the advantages of APS‐based surface functionalization in single‐molecule unfolding experiments of a model ...

ABSTRACT Inositol pyrophosphates (PP‐InsPs) are central regulators of eukaryotic signaling events. While certain PP‐InsP isomers have been conclusively linked to the regulation of phosphate homeostasis through interaction with SPX domain‐containing proteins in plants, the functions of the recently discovered isomer 4/6‐PP‐InsP5 remain largely unknown ...

Origin and evolution of the slime molds (Mycetozoa) [PDF]
The Mycetozoa include the cellular (dictyostelid), acellular (myxogastrid), and protostelid slime molds. However, available molecular data are in disagreement on both the monophyly and phylogenetic position of the group.

Abstract Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) play important molecular roles in cells even though they do not adopt a stable structure. Relative to structured regions, IDRs have skewed amino acid compositions favoring polar and charged amino acids. This feature is a major contributor to the biophysical behavior and in vivo activity of IDRs, but the ...

PTEN redundancy: overexpressing lpten, a homolog of Dictyostelium discoideum ptenA, the ortholog of human PTEN, rescues all behavioral defects of the mutant ptenA-. [PDF]
Mutations in the tumor suppressor gene PTEN are associated with a significant proportion of human cancers. Because the human genome also contains several homologs of PTEN, we considered the hypothesis that if a homolog, functionally redundant with PTEN ...

Convective Instability and Boundary Driven Oscillations in a Reaction-Diffusion-Advection Model
In a reaction-diffusion-advection system, with a convectively unstable regime, a perturbation creates a wave train that is advected downstream and eventually leaves the system.

Bioaugmentation mitigates the impact of estrogen on coliform-grazing protozoa in slow sand filters [PDF]
Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), such as estrogens, is a growing issue for human and animal health as they have been shown to cause reproductive and developmental abnormalities in wildlife and plants and have been linked to male ...

Genomic database resources for Dictyostelium discoideum [PDF]
Dictyostelium is an attractive model system for the study of mechanisms basic to cellular function or complex multicellular developmental processes. Recent advances in Dictyostelium genomics have generated a wide spectrum of resources. However, much of the current genomic sequence information is still not currently available through GenBank or related ...
