The genome of the social amoeba dictyostelium discoideum

Article Abstract:

Dictyostelium discoideum, a social amoeba that has the ability to alternate between unicellular and multicellular forms is described. The Dictyostelium seems to have retained more of the diversity of the ancestral genome that has plants, animals or fungi.

Facultative cheater mutants reveal the genetic complexity of cooperation in social amoebae

Article Abstract:

Several facultative cheater mutants are studied to explain the genetic complexity involved in the cooperation exhibited by social amoebae. The phenotypically stable cooperative systems lead to the onset of several genetic conflicts in such organisms.

An intracellular P2X receptor required for osmoregulation in Dictyostelium discoideum

Article Abstract:

A weakly related gene is identified in the genome of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum and using heterologous expression in human embryonic kidney cells, it is shown that it encodes a membrane ion activated by ATP.
