Autophagy of the somatic stalk cells likely nurses the propagating spores of Dictyostelid social amoebas
2022-11-23
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Autophagy (self-feeding) assists survival of starving cells by partial self-digestion, while dormancy as cysts, spores or seeds enables long-term survival. Starving Dictyostelium amoebas construct multicellular fruiting bodies with spores and stalk cells, with many Dictyostelia still able to encyst individually like their single-celled ancestors. While autophagy mostly occurs in the somati...
