Treatment of aggregation competent cells with concentrations of adenosine in the millimolar range inhibits the expression of the prespore specific genes psA and cotC
Thus, phylogenetic analyses of two independent molecular markers, SSU rRNA and Į- tubulin, consistently subdivide nearly all dictyostelid species into four major groups with strong
The cAMP binding properties of the DmcAR are similar to those of DdcAR1, and DmcAR fully restores oscillatory signalling and development in a D.discoideum car1car3 mutant..
However, analysis of the developmental regulation of the cAR1 orthologues suggests that extracellular cAMP signalling was originally originated to control fruiting body
Het ontwikkelen en verkrijgen van deze patroonvorming in Dictyostelium wordt gereguleerd door de differentiele expressie van de verschillende componenten van de
Upon starvation, during the process of aggregation and later on during slug migration Dictyostelium amoebas produce and secrete a molecule called cyclic AMP or cAMP.. This is the
I would also like to thank the generosity of the people of Broughty Ferry and the people from the Rucksack Club for helping me settle in my first Dundee years-. Thanks to all
The use of cAMP as chemoattractant in the evolutionary younger Dictyostelium species is co-opted from an existing process used to control fruiting body formation in the
