1 Morphogenesis and differentiation of Dictyostelium cells interacting with immobilized glucosides: dependence on DIF production. Glucosides tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
2 In the presence of cyclic AMP, amoebae submerged at high cell density accumulate DIF and differentiate into stalk cells. Cyclic AMP tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
3 Since the responsiveness of cells to DIF-1 is not altered, it appears likely that the effect of the glucoside gel is to block DIF-1 production. Glucosides tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
4 Further, the addition of DIF-1 or DIF-2 stimulates the formation of tight aggregates by cells developing on glucoside gels in the absence of cyclic AMP, thus preventing the rounds of aggregation and disaggregation otherwise seen. Glucosides tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
5 Further, the addition of DIF-1 or DIF-2 stimulates the formation of tight aggregates by cells developing on glucoside gels in the absence of cyclic AMP, thus preventing the rounds of aggregation and disaggregation otherwise seen. Cyclic AMP tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
6 We propose a model in which immobilized glucosides activate a specific receptor ("food sensor") which drives the amoebae toward the vegetative state and inhibits DIF accumulation. Glucosides tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
