STATc is a key regulator of the transcriptional response to hyperosmotic shock (2007)
Na, Jianbo, Tunggal, Budi, Eichinger, Ludwig
Abstract Background Dictyostelium discoideum is frequently subjected to environmental changes in its natural habitat, the forest soil. In order to survive, the organism had to develop effective...
The Dictyosteliumgenome encodes numerous RasGEFs with multiple biological roles (2005)
Wilkins, Andrew, Szafranski, Karol, Fraser, Derek J, Bakthavatsalam, Deenadayalan, Müller, Rolf, Fisher, Paul R, ...
Abstract Background Dictyostelium discoideum is a eukaryote with a simple lifestyle and a relatively small genome whose sequence has been fully determined. It is widely used for studies on cell...
NEW EMBO MEMBER’S REVIEW: Crawling into a new era—the Dictyostelium genome project
Eichinger, Ludwig, Noegel, Angelika A.
The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is a well-established model organism for the study of basic aspects of differentiation, signal transduction, phagocytosis, cytokinesis and cell motility....
The Complex Repeats of Dictyostelium discoideum
Glöckner, Gernot, Szafranski, Karol, Winckler, Thomas, Dingermann, Theodor, Quail, Michael A., Cox, Edward, ...
In the course of determining the sequence of the Dictyostelium discoideum genome we have characterized in detail the quantity and nature of interspersed repetitive elements present in this species....
The Dictyostelium genome encodes numerous RasGEFs with multiple biological roles
Wilkins, Andrew, Szafranski, Karol, Fraser, Derek J, Bakthavatsalam, Deenadayalan, Müller, Rolf, Fisher, Paul R, ...
A survey of the Dictyostelium genome reveals at least 25 RasGEFs, all of which appear to be expressed at some point in development. Disruption of several of these novel RasGEFs reveals that many have...
Silencing of retrotransposons in Dictyostelium by DNA methylation and RNAi
Kuhlmann, Markus, Borisova, Branimira E., Kaller, Markus, Larsson, Pontus, Stach, Dirk, Na, Jianbo, ...
We have identified a DNA methyltransferase of the Dnmt2 family in Dictyostelium that was denominated DnmA. Expression of the dnmA gene is downregulated during the developmental cycle. Overall DNA...

Regulatory changes in genes involved in reproduction are thought to be prime targets for divergence during speciation, since they are expected to play an important role in sexual selection and sexual...

Profilin is an ubiquitous G-actin binding protein in eukaryotic cells. Lack of both profilin isoforms in Dictyostelium discoideum resulted in impaired cytokinesis and an arrest in development. A...
