Keratocyte-like movement of amiB-null Dictyostelium cells.
Species name:Dictyostelium discoideum
National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology Taro Uyeda
Migrating cells of the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum are usually elongated along the front-rear axis, typical of other amoeboid cells. However, mutant cells lacking AmiB are elongated laterally, and migrate in one direction over a long distance. This is very similar to fish keratocytes.
