متن کاملCalcium regulation in protozoan parasites.
The calcium ion (Ca(2+)) is used as a major signaling molecule in a diverse range of eukaryotic cells including several human parasitic protozoa, such as Trypanosoma cruzi, Trypanosoma brucei, Leishmania spp, Plasmodium spp, Toxoplasma gondii, Cryptosporidium parvum, Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia and Trichomonas vaginalis. Ca(2+) is critical for invasion of intracellular parasites, and...
متن کاملA putative flagellar Ca2(+)-binding protein of the flagellum of trypanosomatid protozoan parasites.
Several cDNA clones of the protozoa Trypanosoma brucei and Trypanosoma lewisi were isolated as a reult of selection for evolutionarily conserved genes encoding cell-surface proteins (Lee and Van der Ploeg, unpublished). cDNA clone Tb-17 had a predicted open reading frame, encoding a 23 kDa protein (Figure 1A). This protein shared significant homology with a flagellar Ca binding protein (FCaBP) ...
متن کاملProduction of recombinant proteins from protozoan parasites.
Although the past decade has witnessed sequencing from an increasing number of parasites, modern high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies have the potential to generate complete genome sequences at even higher rates. Along with the discovery of genes that might constitute potential targets for chemotherapy or vaccination, the need for novel protein expression platforms has become a pressing ...
متن کاملRNA viruses in trypanosomatid parasites: a historical overview
Viruses of trypanosomatids are now being extensively studied because of their diversity and the roles they play in flagellates' biology. Among the most prominent examples are leishmaniaviruses implicated in pathogenesis of Leishmania parasites. Here, we present a historical overview of this field, starting with early reports of virus-like particles on electron microphotographs, and culminating ...
