Modelling Dictyostelium discoideum morphogenesis: the culmination.
The culmination of the morphogenesis of the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum involves complex cell movements which transform a mound of cells into a globule of spores on a slender stalk. We show that cyclic AMP signalling and differential adhesion, combined with cell differentiation and slime production, are sufficient to produce the morphogenetic cell movements which lead to culmi...
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...
متن کاملUse of a transactive regulatory mutant of Dictyostelium discoideum in a eucaryotic expression system.
The discoidin proteins of Dictyostelium discoideum are highly expressed during development. The Disc I gamma promoter allows the regulation of heterologous protein expression by experimental conditions. We report conditions under which the promoter activity is efficiently repressed during growth in the wildtype strain AX2. In addition we show that a mutant which overexpresses the discoidins als...

cernible. The peroxidase technique also permits the specimen to be examined by electron microscopy. Perhaps a few too many chapters are devoted to individual applications of the technique, but it is an exciting development in diagnostic virology. Viral genomes can be present in cells without full expression leading to the production of viral antigens or virions which can be detected by immunolo...
متن کاملProportion regulation without pattern formation in Dictyostelium discoideum.
When shaken in a glucose-albumin-cAMP medium, dissociated aggregative cells formed small clumps, in which both prespore and prestalk cells differentiated in essentially the same proportions as in a slug. Immunocytochemical staining of sections of such clumps revealed that the two types of cells showed no particular pattern of distribution, unlike the two-zoned prestalk-prespore pattern as obser...
