Discovery of novel active diamidines as clinical candidates against "Trypanosoma evansi" infection [PDF]
, 2007 The animal pathogenic protozoan, Trypanosoma evansi, leads to a wasting disease in equines, cattle and camels, commonly known as Surra. It is extensively distributed geographically with a wide range of mammalian hosts and causes great economical loss ...

Transgenic selection and underlying mechanisms in apicomplexan parasites
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Transgenic selection markers have driven genetic engineering in apicomplexans, enabling precise, iterative experiments. This review discusses mechanistic details of drug selection markers, strategies for marker recycling, and practical considerations for several clinically relevant parasites.

Rescue of pATOM36‐depleted T. brucei by human MTCH1/2 reveals common features of protein insertases
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Human MTCH1 and MTCH2 (with an N‐terminal extension) functionally complement the loss of pATOM36 in T. brucei, indicating that these evolutionarily distant proteins recognize a common set of substrates and share fundamental principles of mitochondrial outer membrane protein insertion. Structural analyses reveal a common hydrophilic cavity, supporting a

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.LbAha1 activates LbHsp90 through a multistep mechanism in which productive N‐domain docking precedes ATP‐driven rearrangement and linker ordering. The LbAha1 linker transitions from a flexible to helical state, stabilizing an asymmetric, catalytically competent closed complex.
