Dictyostelium discoideum mutants with temperature-sensitive defects in endocytosis
We have isolated and characterized temperature-sensitive endocytosis mutants in Dictyostelium discoideum. Dictyostelium is an attractive model for genetic studies of endocytosis because of its high rates of endocytosis, its reliance on endocytosis for nutrient uptake, and tractable molecular genetics. Endocytosis-defective mutants were isolated by a fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) as...
متن کاملMotility mutants of Dictyostelium discoideum
We describe six motility mutants of Dictyostelium discoideum in this report. They were identified among a group of temperature-sensitive growth (Tsg) mutants that had been previously isolated using an enrichment for phagocytosis-defective cells. The Tsg mutants were screened for their ability to produce tracks on gold-coated cover slips, and several strains were found that were temperature-sens...
متن کاملIsolation of germination mutants of Dictyostelium discoideum.
A simple method to separate spores from amoebae of Dictyostelium discoideum has been devized and used to isolate spore germination mutants. A subclass of these mutants is temperature sensitive for germination and growth.
متن کاملSelection of chemotaxis mutants of Dictyostelium discoideum
A method has been developed for the efficient selection of chemotaxis mutants of Dictyostelium discoideum. Mutants defective in the chemotactic response to folate could be enriched up to 30-fold in one round of selection using a chamber in which a compartment that contained the chemoattractant was separated by a sandwich of four nitrocellulose filters from a compartment that contained buffer. M...
متن کاملLysosomal enzyme secretory mutants of Dictyostelium discoideum.
Dictyostelium discoideum secretes a number of lysosomal enzymes during axenic growth and upon suspension in a low ionic strength, non-nutrient buffer (standard secretion conditions). These secretory characteristics have allowed us to identify 74 lysosomal enzyme secretory mutants generated by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis. The majority of these mutants fell into one of four c...
