Analysis of a putative map kinase docking motif in Dictyostelium discoideum Ga2 protein
(2021-05)Some G protein alpha subunits contain a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) docking site (D-motif) near the amino terminus that can impact cellular responses to external signals. The Dictyostelium Ga2 subunit is required ... -
Determining the role of Gɑ3, Gɑ8, and PakF in Dictyostelium signaling
(Oklahoma State University, 2019-04-27)Dictyostelium discoideum is a free-living amoeba found in the soil. Dictyostelium (commonly referred to as "slime mold") exists as a unicellular amoeba in optimal environmental conditions. In suboptimal conditions (specifically ... -
Examining the role of MekA and YakA in Dictyostelium signaling
(Oklahoma State University, 2019-04-27)A series of trials were conducted to determine how each protein or kinase plays a role in the signaling of a cell. Among the factors tested were response time, extent of response, and the response under varying stimuli ...
