Self-cleaving 2A peptides allow for expression of multiple genes in Dictyostelium discoideum

Xinwen Zhu, Chiara Ricci-Tam, Emily Rickman Hager, Allyson E. Sgro

This study evaluates 2A peptides for polycistronic gene expression in Dictyostelium discoideum, finding P2A most effective despite strain-dependent expression reductions.

Robust coordination of collective oscillatory signaling requires single-cell excitability and fold-change detection

Chuqiao Huyan, Alexander Golden, Xinwen Zhu, Pankaj Mehta, Allyson E. Sgro

The paper normalizes five signal relay network models of Dictyostelium discoideum to assess their ability to reproduce observed population and single-cell dynamics, finding that single-cell excitable dynamics and fold-change detection are essential for robust coordination.
