Genetic analysis of the role of G protein-coupled receptor signaling in electrotaxis.

The Journal of cell biology - 10 Jun 2002

Abstract excerpt

Cells display chemotaxis and electrotaxis by migrating directionally in gradients of specific chemicals or electrical potential. Chemotaxis in Dictyostelium discoideum is mediated by G protein-coupled receptors. The unique Gbeta is essential for all chemotactic responses, although different chemoattractants use different receptors and Galpha subunits. Dictyostelium amoebae show striking electrotaxis in an applied...
