Matricellular Signal Transduction Involving Calmodulin in the Social Amoebozoan Dictyostelium

Matricellular Signal Transduction Involving Calmodulin in the Social Amoebozoan Dictyostelium

The social amoebozoan Dictyostelium discoideum undergoes a developmental sequence wherein an extracellular matrix (ECM) sheath surrounds a group of differentiating cells. This sheath is comprised of proteins and carbohydrates, like the ECM of mammalian tissues. One of the characterized ECM proteins...
