Reactivation of a glycerinated model of Amoeba
Kiyoko Kuroda,Seiji Sonobe +1 more
TL;DR: Motile models ofAmoeba proteus prepared by extraction at −20 °C with a 50% buffered glycerol solution showed remarkable contraction on addition of Mg-ATP with retainment of Ca++ sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The incorporation of [14C] uracil and [14C] orotic acid into RNA in the cytoplasm of Amoeba proteus.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the extensive incorporation of orotic acid derivatives into cy toplasmic RNA in anucleate cells represents good evidence for the capability of the cytoplasm for RNA synthesis in the absence of the nucleus.

Peptide stimulation of phagocytosis in Amoeba proteus
TL;DR: The binding of NFMLP to the amoeba surface may bring about a movement of calcium into the cell which can be inhibited with calcium-channel blockers, and this activity is dependent on the concentration of calcium in the external medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical stimulation of phagocytosis in Amoeba proteus and the influence of external calcium
Robert D. Prusch,Daniel R. Minck +1 more
TL;DR: The process of phagocytosis in Amoeba proteus was examined by following the uptake of Tetrahymena pyriformis and agarose beads, which apparently emits a water-soluble substance that acts as a chemoattractant to the amoebae.
