Research Advances in Purine Phosphoribosyltransferases of Protozoan Parasites
Guangdong nongye kexue, 2023 Parasitic protozoa are single-celled organisms that have adapted to live in cells of humans and animals. The protozoan parasites include Leishmania spp., Trypanosoma spp., Plasmodium spp., Toxoplasma gondii, Cryptosporidium spp., and Eimeria spp., which ...

First record of gregarines (Apicomplexa) in seminal vesicle of insect
Scientific Reports, 2017 Gregarines (Apicomplexa) are a diverse group of protozoan parasites, which infects gut and other body cavities of invertebrate hosts. In reproductive system of insects, gregarine has been reported only in the accessory glands and spermathecae of females;

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Effective vaccines against Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, are urgently needed. Here, we report the design and in silico validation of a novel multiepitope vaccine construct targeting the key surface proteins ASP‐2 and gp82. Using a comprehensive immunoinformatics pipeline, we identified and selected 38 potent T‐cell (

The modified base J is the target for a novelDNA-binding protein in kinetoplastid protozoans [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 1999 DNA from Kinetoplastida contains the unusual modified base beta-D-glucosyl(hydroxymethyl)uracil, called J. Base J is found predominantly in repetitive DNA and correlates with epigenetic silencing of telomeric variant surface glycoprotein genes in Trypanosoma brucei. We have now identified a protein in nuclear extracts of bloodstream stage T.brucei that

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

NMR structural analysis of DNA recognition by a novel Myb1 DNA-binding domain in the protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2009 The transcription regulator, tvMyb1, is the first Myb family protein identified in Trichomonas vaginalis. Using an electrophoretic mobility shift assay, we defined the amino-acid sequence from Lys(35) to Ser(141) (tvMyb1(35-141)) as the minimal DNA-binding domain, encompassing two Myb-like DNA-binding motifs (designated as R2 and R3 motifs) and an ...
