...Satoshi Sawai; Takashi Hirano; Yasuo Maeda; Yasuji Sawada SUMMARY Recently it was demonstrated that a rapidly forming, self-organizing pattern that emerges within two-dimensional Dictyostelium discoideum cell cultures could later give rise to stripes of distinct zones, each comprising different...

... differences in two surface loops of myosin subfragment-1 (S1), loops 1 and 2, between the 10°C and 30°C types, which were predominantly expressed in carp acclimated to 10°C and 30°C, respectively. Chimeric myosins composed of Dictyostelium discoideum myosin backbones with loop sequences of carp S1 heavy chain...

...Tomomi Tani; Yutaka Naitoh ABSTRACT The motile responses of Dictyostelium discoideum amoebae to a cyclic AMP (cAMP) concentration gradient were examined using a novel assay system. In this system, a cAMP concentration gradient was generated, while the overall cAMP concentration could be either...

...Eva Wallraff; Hans G. Wallraff ABSTRACT Three mutant strains of Dictyostelium discoideum , lacking different actin-binding proteins, were tested for behavioural deficits in the multicellular pseudoplasmodium (slug) stage. Two strains, defective in the production of either α-actinin (an actin cross...
