Repurposing of synaptonemal complex proteins for kinetochores in Kinetoplastida
Open Biology, 2021 Chromosome segregation in eukaryotes is driven by the kinetochore, a macromolecular complex that connects centromeric DNA to microtubules of the spindle apparatus.

Is mRNA decapping by ApaH like phosphatases present in eukaryotes beyond the Kinetoplastida? [PDF]
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Background ApaH like phosphatases (ALPHs) originate from the bacterial ApaH protein and have been identified in all eukaryotic super-groups. Only two of these proteins have been functionally characterised.

The Intracellular Amastigote of Trypanosoma cruzi Maintains an Actively Beating Flagellum
mBio, 2023 Throughout its complex life cycle, the uniflagellate parasitic protist, Trypanosoma cruzi, adapts to different host environments by transitioning between elongated motile extracellular stages and a nonmotile intracellular amastigote stage that replicates

Synthetic biology tools for engineering Goodwin oscillation in Trypanosoma brucei brucei
Heliyon, 2022 Kinetoplastid protozoa possess properties that are highly divergent from the mammalian, yeast and bacterial cells more commonly used in synthetic biology and represent a tantalisingly untapped source of bioengineering potential. Trypanosoma brucei brucei

Evolutionary history of Leishmania killicki (synonymous Leishmania tropica) and taxonomic implications [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Leishmania (L.) killicki is responsible for the chronic cutaneous leishmaniasis. The taxonomic status of this parasite is still not well defined. It was suggested on one hand to include this taxon within L.
