GrlJ, a DictyosteliumGABAB-like receptor with roles in post-aggregation development (2007)

Prabhu, Yogikala, Müller, Rolf, Anjard, Christophe, Noegel, Angelika A

Abstract Background The G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family represents the largest and most important group of targets for chemotherapeutics. They are extremely versatile receptors that...

Gdt2 regulates the transition of Dictyosteliumcells from growth to differentiation (2004)

Chibalina, Margarita V, Anjard, Christophe, Insall, Robert H

Abstract Background Dictyostelium life cycle consists of two distinct phases – growth and development. The control of growth-differentiation transition in Dictyostelium is not completely...

gdt1, a New Signal Transduction Component for Negative Regulation of the Growth–Differentiation Transition in Dictyostelium discoideum

Zeng, Changjiang, Anjard, Christophe, Riemann, Karsten, Konzok, Angelika, Nellen, Wolfgang

Discoidin I expression was used as a marker to screen for mutants affected in the growth–differentiation transition (GDT) of Dictyostelium. By REMI mutagenesis we have isolated mutant 2-9, an...

SDF-2 Induction of Terminal Differentiation in Dictyostelium discoideum Is Mediated by the Membrane-Spanning Sensor Kinase DhkA

Wang, Nancy, Söderbom, Fredrik, Anjard, Christophe, Shaulsky, Gad, Loomis, William F.

SDF-2 is a peptide released by prestalk cells during culmination that stimulates prespore cells to encapsulate. Genetic evidence indicates that the response is dependent on the dhkA gene. This gene...

Evolutionary Analyses of ABC Transporters of Dictyostelium discoideum

Anjard, Christophe, Loomis, William F.

The ABC superfamily of genes is one of the largest in the genomes of both bacteria and eukaryotes. The proteins encoded by these genes all carry a characteristic 200- to 250-amino-acid ATP-binding...

Peptide signaling during terminal differentiation of Dictyostelium

Anjard, Christophe, Loomis, William F.

A wide variety of mechanisms have evolved for intercellular communication in metazoans, but some of the signaling molecules were already used in their predecessors. The social amoeba, Dictyostelium...

Genetic Evidence that the Acyl Coenzyme A Binding Protein AcbA and the Serine Protease/ABC Transporter TagA Function Together in Dictyostelium discoideum Cell Differentiation▿

Cabral, Matthew, Anjard, Christophe, Loomis, William F., Kuspa, Adam

The acyl coenzyme A (CoA) binding protein AcbA is cleaved to form a peptide (SDF-2) that coordinates spore encapsulation during the morphogenesis of Dictyostelium discoideum fruiting bodies. We...
