Manipulation and expression of molecular motors in Dictyostelium discoideum.

چکیده
The eukaryote Dictyostelium discoideum is an attractive model organism for the study of cytoskeletal proteins and cell motility. The appearance and behavior of this cell closely resembles that of mammalian cells, but unlike mammalian cells, Dictyostelium offers the opportunity specifically to alter the cell physiology by molecular genetic approaches.

متن کاملIsolation and characterization of casein kinase I from Dictyostelium discoideum.
In the present study, the molecular cloning and characterization of a 49-kDa form of casein kinase (CK)I from Dictyostelium discoideum is reported. The predicted amino acid sequence shares 70% identity with the catalytic domain of the mammalian delta and epsilon isoforms, Drosophila CKIepsilon and Schizosaccharomyces pombe Hhp1, and 63% identity with Hrr25, a 57-kDa form of yeast CK involved in...
متن کاملAnalysis of the gene encoding copper/zinc superoxide dismutase homolog in Dictyostelium discoideum.
SodD, a Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase in Dictyostelium discoideum, shows 48% identity to the cytosolic Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SOD1). The sodD gene is expressed in D. discoideum cells at late-developmental stages. However, gene expression was not detected in the sporeless mutant, indicating that sodD is a spore cell-specific gene. The D. discoideum mutant, in ...
متن کاملMultinucleation of the sodC-deficient Dictyostelium discoideum.
The cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum expresses three genes (sodA, sodB and sodC) encoding the extracellular Cu/Zn superoxide dismutases. Following H(2)O(2) treatment, the expression of sodA and sodB increased while that of sodC decreased. The sodC null strain formed multinucleate cells in a shaking culture. These results suggest that sodC plays a unique role in Dictyostelium discoid...
