Neurofibromin controls macropinocytosis and phagocytosis in Dictyostelium.

eLife - 27 Mar 2015

Bloomfield Gareth, Traynor David, Sander Sophia P, Veltman Douwe M, Pachebat Justin A, Kay Robert R

Abstract excerpt

Cells use phagocytosis and macropinocytosis to internalise bulk material, which in phagotrophic organisms supplies the nutrients necessary for growth. Wildtype Dictyostelium amoebae feed on bacteria, but for decades laboratory work has relied on axenic mutants that can also grow on liquid media....
