This study highlights the important role of Ras proteins in controlling Dictyostelium chemotaxis. The results suggest that Ras acts upstream of PI3K, first activating a membrane-bound pool of the enzyme leading to F-actin polymerization, which promotes further PI3K translocation and activation through a positive feedback loop.

With mathematical simulations, the authors demonstrate that interlinked fast and slow positive feedback loops create a 'dual-time' switch that is both rapidly inducible and resistant to noise in the upstream signaling system. This provides an explanation for the fact that various biological processes use multiple interlinked loops rather than single positive feedback loops.

Chemoattractant-induced phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate accumulation is spatially amplified and adapts, independent of the actin cytoskeleton. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 101 (2004) 8951-8956. Results in this study suggest that distinct molecular mechanisms control gradient sensing and cell polarity in Dictyostelium, and that signal amplification represents feedback from the cytoskeleton of a polarized cell.
