Dictyostelium AMPKα regulates aggregate size and cell-type patterning

Starved Dictyostelium cells aggregate into groups of nearly 105 cells. AMPK is a highly conserved serine/threonine protein kinase consisting of a catalytic and two regulatory subunits. As multi-cellular development in Dictyostelium is initiated upon starvation, we explored the role of the energy sen...
