Patterns in Dictyostelium discoideum: the role of myosin II in the transition from the unicellular to the multicellular phase.

Journal of cell science - 1 Feb 1993

Eliott S, Joss G H, Spudich A, Williams K L

Abstract excerpt

Dictyostelium discoideum amoebae which lack the myosin II gene are motile and aggregate to form rudimentary mounds, but do not undergo further morphological development (Manstein et al., 1989). Here we use scanning electron microscopy, light microscopy, immunofluorescence and computer analysis of time-lapse video films to study how D. discoideum myosin null cells of strains HS2205 and HS2206 aggregate. Myosin...
