How can you use “discoideum” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
1, induces the spontaneous oscillations in cAMP observed during the early development of D. discoideum.
Myosin II heavy chain kinase (MHCK) activity in this system capable of disassembling myosin II filaments in vitro was originally reported with partially enriched kinase fractions [ 13 ] . The enzyme MHCK-A was subsequently purified to homogeneity and shown to be capable of driving myosin II filament disassembly in vitro via myosin II heavy chain phosphorylation [ 14 15 ] ). A MHCK-A cDNA was cloned via expression cloning and peptide sequence derived from the native enzyme [ 16 ] . This enzyme is now recognized as the founding member of a highly novel family of protein kinases unrelated to conventional protein kinases, with members present in D. discoideum and throughout the animal kingdom.
Although substantial biochemical analysis has been performed with this family of D. discoideum MHCKs, there is relatively little information on the cellular distribution of the endogenous MHCKs in vivo.
Load-dependent recruitment of crossbridges for D. discoideum myosin-II has not been examined so it is not known whether this is important for a simple eukaryotic nonmuscle myosin-II.
Myosin II, a key component of this actin-based cytoskeleton, has been shown to be essential for cytokinesis of D. discoideum cells in suspension as well as for efficient chemotaxis and morphogenetic changes in shape during development) [ 1 2 3 ] . All of these roles require myosin II to be in the form of thick filaments.
