Journal ArticleDOI
The Dictyostelium Developmental cDNA Project: Generation and Analysis of Expressed Sequence Tags from the First-Finger Stage of Development
Takahiro Morio,Hideko Urushihara,Tamao Saito,Yoshihiro Ugawa,Hideaki Mizuno,Motonobu Yoshida,Ryuji Yoshino,Biswa Nath Mitra,Min Pi,Tomihiro Sato,Keiko Takemoto,Hiroo Yasukawa,Jeffrey G. Williams,Mineko Maeda,Ikuo Takeuchi,Hiroshi Ochiai,Yoshimasa Tanaka +16 more
TL;DR: Using size-fractionated subsets of cDNA from the first finger stage, two sets of gridded libraries were constructed for cDNA sequencing and the ESTs represent approximately 40% of genes expressed in late development, assuming that the non-redundant ESTs correspond to independent genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Periodic signaling controlled by an oscillatory circuit that includes protein kinases ERK2 and PKA.
Mineko Maeda,Sijie Lu,Gad Shaulsky,Yuji Miyazaki,Hidekazu Kuwayama,Yoshimasa Tanaka,Adam Kuspa,William F. Loomis +7 more
TL;DR: Sp spontaneous oscillations in activation of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase ERK2 that occur in phase with peaks of cAMP are observed, and it is shown that ERK 2 modulates cAMP levels through the phosphodiesterase RegA.
Journal ArticleDOI
A transcriptional profile of multicellular development in Dictyostelium discoideum.
Nancy Van Driessche,Chad A. Shaw,Mariko Katoh,Takahiro Morio,Richard Sucgang,Miroslava Ibarra,Hidekazu Kuwayama,Tamao Saito,Hideko Urushihara,Mineko Maeda,Ikuo Takeuchi,Hiroshi Ochiai,William Eaton,Jeffrey Tollett,John A. Halter,Adam Kuspa,Yoshimasa Tanaka,Gad Shaulsky +17 more
TL;DR: Analysis of the two differentiated cell types, spores and stalk cells, and their precursors revealed a large number of differentially expressed genes as well as unexpected patterns of gene expression, which shed new light on the timing and possible mechanisms of cell-type divergence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changing patterns of gene expression in dictyostelium prestalk cell subtypes recognized by in situ hybridization with genes from microarray analyses.
Mineko Maeda,Haruyo Sakamoto,Negin Iranfar,Danny Fuller,Toshinari Maruo,Satoshi Ogihara,Takahiro Morio,Hideko Urushihara,Yoshimasa Tanaka,William F. Loomis +9 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that differentiation of some aspects of PstO cells can occur in the absence of DIF-1, and demonstrate the extremely dynamic nature of cell-type-specific expression in Dictyostelium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analyses of cDNAs from growth and slug stages of Dictyostelium discoideum
Hideko Urushihara,Takahiro Morio,Tamao Saito,Yuji Kohara,Eiko Koriki,Hiroshi Ochiai,Mineko Maeda,Jeffrey G. Williams,Ikuo Takeuchi,Yoshimasa Tanaka +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest major differences between growing and developing Dictyostelium cells in the nature of the genes transcribed, and genes encoding the enzymes of basic metabolism are mainly found in the common gene population.
