The contractile vacuole in Ca2+-regulation in Dictyostelium: its essential function for cAMP-induced Ca2+-influx (2006)

Malchow, Dieter, Lusche, Daniel F, Schlatterer, Christina, De Lozanne, Arturo, Müller-Taubenberger, Annette

Abstract Background cAMP-induced Ca 2+ -influx in Dictyostelium is controlled by at least two non-mitochondrial Ca 2+ -stores: acidic stores and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The acidic stores may...

Ca2+regulation in the absence of the iplAgene product in Dictyostelium discoideum (2005)

Schaloske, Ralph H, Lusche, Daniel F, Bezares-Roder, Karen, Happle, Kathrin, Malchow, Dieter, Schlatterer, Christina

Abstract Background Stimulation of Dictyostelium discoideum with cAMP evokes an elevation of the cytosolic free Ca 2+ concentration ([Ca 2+ ] i ). The [Ca 2+ ] i -change is composed of liberation of...

cAMP controls cytosolic Ca2+levels in Dictyostelium discoideum (2005)

Lusche, Daniel F, Bezares-Roder, Karen, Happle, Kathrin, Schlatterer, Christina

Abstract Background Differentiating Dictyostelium discoideum amoebae respond upon cAMP-stimulation with an increase in the cytosolic free Ca 2+ concentration ([Ca 2+ ] i ) that is composed of...

A link of Ca2+to cAMP oscillations in Dictyostelium: the calmodulin antagonist W-7 potentiates cAMP relay and transiently inhibits the acidic Ca2+-store (2004)

Malchow, Dieter, Lusche, Daniel F, Schlatterer, Christina

Abstract Background During early differentiation of Dictyostelium the attractant cAMP is released periodically to induce aggregation of the cells. Here we pursue the question whether pulsatile cAMP...

Calcium stores in differentiated Dictyostelium discoideum : prespore cells sequester calcium more efficiently than prestalk cells (2001)

Schlatterer, Christina, Walther, P., Müller, M., Mendgen, Kurt, Zierold, K., Knoll, G.

Dictyostelium discoideum pseudoplasmodia exhibit a gradient of the cytosolic free Ca2]-concentration ([Ca2]]i) along their anterior–posterior axis involved in cell-type specific differentiation....

Release of Ca2+ from the Endoplasmic Reticulum Contributes to Ca2+ Signaling in Dictyostelium discoideum

Wilczynska, Zofia, Happle, Kathrin, Müller-Taubenberger, Annette, Schlatterer, Christina, Malchow, Dieter, Fisher, Paul R.

Ca2+ responses to two chemoattractants, folate and cyclic AMP (cAMP), were assayed in Dictyostelium D. discoideum mutants deficient in one or both of two abundant Ca2+-binding proteins of the...
