Example sentences for: discoideum

How can you use “discoideum” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

However, in D. discoideum, myosin light chain phosphorylation is not required for cytokinesis so this is unlikely to be a major consideration [ 28 29 ] . Finally, the ratio imaging experiments do not allow us to make conclusions regarding the radial uniformity of the myosin-II in the cleavage furrow cortex.
For example, in D. discoideum, the cortexillin actin-filament crosslinking proteins are recruited to the cleavage furrow where they are thought to contribute to the stiffness of the cleavage furrow cortex [ 24 25 ] . Myosin-II is probably a major contractile force generator.
The enzymes MHCK-A and MHCK-B have established roles in the control of D. discoideum myosin filament assembly both in vitro and in vivo [ 16 17 24 ] , and Egelhoff, T. T., (unpublished studies).
To determine the minimal force requirements of cells undergoing cell division, we analyzed movies of dividing D. discoideum cells.
More myosin-II is recruited to the furrow cortex when D. discoideum cells are flattened by agar overlay when compared to cells grown under standard conditions on the surface of a culture plate [ 18 ] . Flattening a cell by agar overlay may increase the apparent stiffness of the cell by introducing tension into the cortex from increased hydrostatic pressure.
