Example sentences for: discoideum

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.
The results reported here provide biochemical and cellular evidence indicating that D. discoideum contains a related family of MHC kinase isoforms that display distinct modes of regulation in vitro and distinct localization dynamics in vivo during contractile events, particularly during cytokinesis.
However, the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum has one myosin (Dd MyoJ), which is alternatively grouped with class V or class XI [ 27].
By considering the stiffness of a D. discoideum cell [ 9 10 ] , we estimate the minimal required force to cleave a cell as a function of the cell's geometry.
