Demystifying the potential of inhibitors targeting DNA topoisomerases in unicellular protozoan parasites

Drug Discovery Today, 2023
DNA topoisomerases are a group of enzymes omnipresent in all organisms. They maintain the DNA topology during replication, repair, recombination, and transcription. However, the structure of topoisomerase in protozoan parasites differs significantly from that of human topoisomerases; thus, this enzyme acts as a crucial target in drug development ...

Dna-Protein Interactions at Telomeres in Ciliated Protozoans

Advances in Molecular and Cell Biology, 1988
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the DNA–protein complexes found at telomeres in the macronuclei of ciliated protozoans, with special attention given to studies in Oxytricha (a hypotrichous ciliate) and Tetrahymena (a holotrichous ciliate). The structure of telomeres has been largely elucidated by studies on macronuclear DNA from ciliated

Stable DNA transfection of the primitive protozoan pathogen Giardia lamblia

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1998
We have developed a stable DNA transfection vector pRANneo for genetic manipulation of the primitive protozoan Giardia lamblia. pRANneo was constructed by replacing the protein coding region of a Giardia ran gene with a bacterial neomycin phosphotransferase gene (neo). This plasmid was electroporated into G. lamblia, and the transfectants were selected

DNA microarray-based detection and identification of waterborne protozoan pathogens

Journal of Microbiological Methods, 2010
A DNA microarray with 21 oligonucleotide probes was developed to detect most of the common waterborne protozoan pathogens. The DNA microarray accurately identified 3 test protozoa strains based on the small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene sequence. The detection limit was approximately 1x10(3) target genes, or 50 Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts, per assay. As a

Stimulation of B lymphocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells by protozoan DNA

Microbes and Infection, 2002
This review summarizes recent work from our laboratory demonstrating the activation of B lymphocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells by DNA from three different protozoan parasites of cattle and humans that is qualitatively similar to the now well-described effects of CpG-containing bacterial DNA. This novel mechanism of protozoan parasite recognition

Use of Hybridoma Antibodies and Recombinant DNA Technology in Protozoan Vaccine Development

Avian Diseases, 1986
The use of hybridoma antibodies developed against the sporozoite stage of avian coccidia, coupled with genetic-engineering techniques, has made it possible to begin bird-immunization studies utilizing an Escherichia coli-elicited coccidial protein. The coccidia are currently controlled in the poultry industry by use of anticoccidial compounds, but it ...

Electrochemical biosensor for detecting DNA sequences from the pathogenic protozoan Cryptosporidium parvum

Talanta, 1997
An electrochemical hybridization biosensor was developed for the detection of short DNA fragments specific to the deadly waterborne pathogen Cryptosporidium. The sensor relies on the immobilization of a 38-mer oligonucleotide unique to the Cryptosporidium DNA onto the carbon-paste transducer, and employs a highly sensitive chronopotentiometric ...

An isolation method of DNA from Pneumocystis carinii: a quantitative comparison to known parasitic protozoan DNA

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1988
1. A method for isolating DNA from Pneumocystis carinii is described. 2. The DNA content per nucleus is 0.22-0.34 pg. 3. This finding is consistent with other parasitic protozoa DNA content per nuclei.

Nanopore Long Read DNA Sequencing of Protozoan Parasites: Hybrid Genome Assembly of Trypanosoma cruzi

2021
Due to highly repetitive genome sequences, short-read-based Trypanosoma cruzi genomes are extremely fragmented. Contiguous trypanosomatid genomes assemblies have resulted in the advent of third-generation sequencing technologies. Long reads span several to hundreds of kbps allowing to correct assemblies of repeated and low complexity DNA regions ...

Sequence of the parasitic protozoan, Cryptosporidium parvum, putative protein disulfide isomerase-encoding DNA

Gene, 1996
A composite 1876-bp DNA encoding a putative protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) has been constructed from clones isolated from Cryptosporidium parvum (C. parvum) genomic and cDNA libraries and the nucleotide sequence determined. As predicted from the open reading frame (ORF), the protein product has a predicted molecular size of 54 kDa and a high degree ...
