How can you use “discoideum” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
For a model system, we have focused on the dynamics of myosin II thick filaments in D. discoideum . This protein forms a self-assembled, highly regulated bi-directional array of molecules that together with actin filaments are capable of producing force for cellular rearrangements.
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.
In [ 8 ] , Laub and Loomis propose a model of the molecular network underlying adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) oscillations observed in fields of chemotactic Dictyostelium discoideum cells.
In fact, three D. discoideum myosins (Dd myoI, Dd myoJ, and Dd myoM) did not fall into any of the classes (Figure 3).
To determine whether phosphorylation by MHCK-C affected myosin II assembly properties, samples of purified D. discoideum myosin II were incubated with MHCK-C in the presence and absence of ATP.
