Transcriptome Sequence of the Bloodstream Form of Trypanoplasma borreli, a Hematozoic Parasite of Fish Transmitted by Leeches
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here, we report a transcriptome sequence of Trypanoplasma borreli isolated from its natural host, the common carp, Cyprinus carpio The transcriptome allows an analysis of abundant cell surface proteins and acts as a comparator for understanding the evolution and pathogenicity of other Kinetoplastida, including several that infect humans.

BACKGROUND The innate immune system relies upon a wide range of germ-line encoded receptors including a large number of immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) receptors. Different Ig-like immune receptor families have been reported in mammals, birds, amphibians and fish. Most innate immune receptors of the IgSF are type I transmembrane proteins containing one or more extracellular Ig-like domains an...
متن کاملFlow cytometric analysis of proliferative responses of carp Cyprinus carpio peripheral blood leukocytes to mitogens and to the hemoflagellate Trypanoplasma borreli.
The activation of carp peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) was analysed radiometrically and by means of flow cytometry (FCM) in order to compare the results obtained with both methods. The qualitative and quantitative FCM analyses of cellular morphology and viability resulted in a further characterisation of proliferative responses of carp PBL to Trypanoplasma borreli in vivo and in vitro. The ly...

The bodonids and cryptobiids represent an early diverged sister group to the trypanosomatids among the kinetoplastid protozoa. The trypanosome type of uridine insertion-deletion RNA editing was found to occur in the cryptobiid fish parasite Trypanoplasma borreli. A pan-edited ribosomal protein, S12, and a novel 3'- and 5'-edited cytochrome b, in addition to an unedited cytochrome oxidase III ge...
متن کاملTrypanosomiasis-Induced Th17-Like Immune Responses in Carp
BACKGROUND In mammalian vertebrates, the cytokine interleukin (IL)-12 consists of a heterodimer between p35 and p40 subunits whereas interleukin-23 is formed by a heterodimer between p19 and p40 subunits. During an immune response, the balance between IL-12 and IL-23 can depend on the nature of the pathogen associated molecular pattern (PAMP) recognized by, for example TLR2, leading to a prefer...
متن کاملOrganization of mini-exon and 5S rRNA genes in the kinetoplastid Trypanoplasma borreli.
Mini-exon gene repeats from Trypanoplasma borreli, which belongs to the Cryptobiidae family of the Bodonina suborder of the Kinetoplastida, were isolated by PCR amplification and cloning. The presence of kinetoplastid-like mini-exon genes in T. borreli is consistent with the taxonomic status of this organism as a kinetoplastid protozoan. Two families of repeats were found: 597 nt (T1) and 794 n...
