Exosome secretion affects social motility in Trypanosoma brucei
Extracellular vesicles (EV) secreted by pathogens function in a variety of biological processes. Here, we demonstrate that in the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei, exosome secretion is induced by stress that affects trans-splicing. Following perturbations in biogenesis of spliced leader RNA, which donates its spliced leader (SL) exon to all mRNAs, or after heat-shock, the SL RNA is exporte...
متن کاملTrypanosoma brucei brucei
Protein synthesis in Trypanosoma brucei brucei was rapidly inhibited during polyamine depletion by DL-adifluoromethylornithine (DFMO) in vitro and in vivo. [3H]Leucine incorporation was depressed 30-40 % by 24 h and 80-90 % by 48 h of DFMO treatment. Concomitantly there was an apparent decrease in the synthesis of the variant-specific glycoprotein (VSG) in DFMO-treated trypanosomes, as measured...
متن کاملProtein isoprenylation in Trypanosoma brucei brucei.
Trypanosoma brucei is a digenetic protozoan parasite presenting a public health hazard in certain areas of Africa; it is transmitted between mammals (bloodstream form (BSF)) by tsetse flies (procyclic form (PCF)). We have an ongoing interest in small GTP proteins in T. brucei, and these are commonly isoprenylated. Many isoprenylated proteins belong to the rab family and include ras; the isopren...
متن کاملSUMOylation in Trypanosoma brucei
Small ubiquitin like modifier (SUMO) proteins are involved in many processes in eukaryotes. We here show that Trypanosoma brucei SUMO (Tb927.5.3210) modifies many proteins. The levels of SUMOylation were unaffected by temperature changes but were increased by severe oxidative stress. We obtained evidence that trypanosome homologues of the SUMO conjugating enzyme Ubc9 (Tb927.2.2460) and the SUMO...
متن کاملTrypanosoma evansi is alike to Trypanosoma brucei brucei in the subcellular localisation of glycolytic enzymes
Trypanosoma evansi, which causes surra, is descended from Trypanosoma brucei brucei, which causes nagana. Although both parasites are presumed to be metabolically similar, insufficient knowledge of T. evansi precludes a full comparison. Herein, we provide the first report on the subcellular localisation of the glycolytic enzymes in T. evansi, which is a alike to that of the bloodstream form (BS...
