متن کاملCell Substratum Adhesion during Early Development of Dictyostelium discoideum
Vegetative and developed amoebae of Dictyostelium discoideum gain traction and move rapidly on a wide range of substrata without forming focal adhesions. We used two independent assays to quantify cell-substrate adhesion in mutants and in wild-type cells as a function of development. Using a microfluidic device that generates a range of hydrodynamic shear stress, we found that substratum adhesi...
متن کاملMacrocyst Development in Dictyostelium Discoideum
The early events of macrocyst development in Dictyostelium discoideum have been investigated using a new culturing system. When cells of opposite mating-types, HM1 and NC4, are cultured together at the appropriate temperature in the dark, giant cells appear, ingest the surrounding amoebae, and develop into macrocysts. Although these giant cells have been assumed to be the products of the fusion...
متن کاملABC Transporters in Dictyostelium discoideum Development
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters can translocate a broad spectrum of molecules across the cell membrane including physiological cargo and toxins. ABC transporters are known for the role they play in resistance towards anticancer agents in chemotherapy of cancer patients. There are 68 ABC transporters annotated in the genome of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. We have character...
متن کاملDictyostelium discoideum
Dictyostelium discoideum is a cellular slime mold [4] that serves as an important model organism [5] in a variety of fields. Cellular slime molds have an unusual life cycle. They exist as separate amoebae, but after consuming all the bacteria in their area they proceed to stream together to form a multicellular organism. These features make them a valuable tool for studying developmental proces...
