RepSeq-A database of amino acid repeats present in lower eukaryotic pathogens [PDF]
, 2007 BACKGROUND Amino acid repeat-containing proteins have a broad range of functions and their identification is of relevance to many experimental biologists. In human-infective protozoan parasites (such as the Kinetoplastid and Plasmodium species), they are

A nuclear family A DNA polymerase from Entamoeba histolytica bypasses thymine glycol. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010 BACKGROUND: Eukaryotic family A DNA polymerases are involved in mitochondrial DNA replication or translesion DNA synthesis. Here, we present evidence that the sole family A DNA polymerase from the parasite protozoan E.

Telomeres of polytene chromosomes in a ciliated protozoan terminate in duplex DNA loops [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 The end of a telomeric DNA sequence isolated from a polytene chromosome of a hypotrichous ciliate folds back and hybridizes with downstream telomeric sequence to form a t loop that is stable in the absence of protein and DNA cross-linking. The single-stranded, telomeric DNA sequence at the end of a macronuclear molecule does not form a t loop but ...

Overview of DNA Repair in Trypanosoma cruzi, Trypanosoma brucei, and Leishmania major
Journal of Nucleic Acids, 2010 A wide variety of DNA lesions arise due to environmental agents, normal cellular metabolism, or intrinsic weaknesses in the chemical bonds of DNA. Diverse cellular mechanisms have evolved to maintain genome stability, including mechanisms to repair ...
