Novel Sterically Crowded and Conformationally Constrained α-Aminophosphonates with a Near-Neutral p<i>K_a</i> as Highly Accurate ³¹P NMR pH Probes. Application to Subtle pH Gradients Determination in <i>Dictyostelium discoideum</i> Cells by Caroline Delehedde, Marcel Culcasi, Emilie Ricquebourg, Mathieu Cassien, Didier Siri, Bruno Blaive, Sylvia Pietri, Sophie Thétiot-Laurent

“…Finally, the hit ³¹P NMR pH probe <b>1b</b> bearing an unsubstituted 1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane ring, which is moderately lipophilic, nontoxic on A549 and NHLF cells, and showing p<i>K</i>_a = 6.45 with Δ<i>δ</i>_ab = 10.64 ppm, allowed the first clear-cut evidence of trans-sarcolemmal pH gradients in normoxic <i>Dictyostelium discoideum</i> cells with an accuracy of <0.05 pH units.…”

The Elmo family forms an ancient group of actin-regulating proteins by Joseph A. Brzostowski, Petra Fey, Jianshe Yan, Nilgun Isik, Tian Jin

“…Until recently,1 Elmo function has not been explored in professional phagocytes such as Dictyostelium discoideum. We discuss the significance of this family with respect to pathways that regulate Rac signaling, we present a comparison of Elmo proteins between representative taxa, and discuss our findings on ElmoA, one of six Elmo proteins found in D. discoideum.…”

Ras inhibitors gate chemoattractant concentration range for chemotaxis through controlling GPCR-mediated adaptation and cell sensitivity by Xuehua Xu, Tian Jin

“…Ras activation is the first step in the chemosensing GPCR signaling pathways that displays a transient activation behavior in both model organism Dictyostelium discoideum and mammalian neutrophils. Recently, it has been revealed that C2GAP1 and CAPRI control the GPCR-mediated adaptation in D. discoideum and human neutrophils, respectively. …”
