The actin cytoskeleton of Dictyostelium: a story told by mutants

Actin-binding proteins are effectors of cell signalling and coordinators of cellular behaviour. Research on the Dictyostelium actin cytoskeleton has focused both on the elucidation of the function of bona fide actin-binding proteins as well as on proteins involved in signalling to the cytoskeleton. A major part of this work is concerned with the analysis of Dictyostelium mutants. The results derived from these investigations have added to our understanding of the role of the actin cytoskeleton in growth and development. Furthermore, the studies have identified several cellular and developmental stages that are particularly sensitive to an unbalanced cytoskeleton. In addition, use of GFP fusion proteins is revealing the spatial and temporal dynamics of interactions between actin-associated proteins and the cytoskeleton.
