Cloning and expression of Trypanosoma cruzi ribosomal protein P0 and epitope analysis of anti-P0 autoantibodies in Chagas' disease patients
Chagas' disease, caused by the intracellular protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is a major cause of heart failure in endemic areas. Antigenic mimicry by T. cruzi antigens sharing epitopes with host macromolecules has been implicated in the pathogenesis which is thought to have a significant autoimmune component. We report herein on the cloning and characterization of a full-length cDNA from ...
متن کاملAntigens shared by Leishmania species and Trypanosoma cruzi: immunological comparison of the acidic ribosomal P0 proteins.
Patients with visceral leishmaniasis produce high levels of immunoglobulin, but the specificities of antibodies produced are not well characterized. In an effort to identify leishmania antigens that are specific to Leishmania species or are cross-reactive with other parasitic protozoa, we have cloned and characterized full-length genomic and cDNA clones encoding a Leishmania chagasi acidic ribo...
متن کاملMolecular mimicry between the immunodominant ribosomal protein P0 of Trypanosoma cruzi and a functional epitope on the human beta 1- adrenergic receptor
Sera from chagasic patients possess antibodies recognizing the carboxy-terminal part of the ribosomal P0 protein of Trypanosoma cruzi and the second extracellular loop of the human beta 1-adrenergic receptor. Comparison of both peptides showed that they contain a pentapeptide with very high homology (AESEE in P0 and AESDE in the human beta 1-adrenergic receptor). Using a competitive immunoenzym...
متن کاملFunctional complementation of yeast ribosomal P0 protein with Plasmodium falciparum P0.
A complex of three phosphoproteins (P0, P1 and P2) constitutes the stalk region at the GTPase center of the eukaryotic large ribosomal subunit, amongst which the protein P0 plays the most crucial role. Earlier studies have shown the functional complementation of the conditional P0-null mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (W303dGP0) with orthologous P0 genes from fungal and mammalian organisms, b...
متن کاملfunctional study of p0 proteins of two cereal yellow dwarf viruses (cydv-rpv and cydv-rps) and identification of their cellular partner
نقش سرکوبگری پروتئین p0 در دو پولروویروس کوتولگی زردی غلات cydv-rpv) و (cydv-rps، متفاوت در شدت بیماریزایی، مورد مطالعه قرار گرفت. نتایج نشان داد که هر دو پروتئین p0 p0cy-rpv) و (p0cy-rps قادر به سرکوب خاموشی آر ان ای ایجاد شده توسط ترادف های تراژن سنس و تکرار معکوس در n. benthamiana هستند. نشان داده شد که هر دو پروتئین p0 می توانند تخریب پروتئین argonaute-1 را تسهیل کنند. علاوه بر این، تمایل م...
