Protein import into bacterial endosymbionts and evolving organelles

The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 12, Page 2992-3013, June 2025.
The acquisition of bacterial endosymbionts by ancient host cells followed by massive adaptation of the partners gave rise to mitochondria and plastids. Today, various systems with younger and less integrated endosymbionts provide insights into the initial steps in the endosymbiont to organelle transition.

The ever unfolding story of cAMP signaling in trypanosomatids: vive la difference! [PDF]

, 2015
Kinetoplastids are unicellular, eukaryotic, flagellated protozoans containing the eponymous kinetoplast. Within this order, the family of trypanosomatids are responsible for some of the most serious human diseases, including Chagas disease (Trypanosoma ...

Vacuolar ATPase depletion contributes to dysregulation of endocytosis in bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

, 2020
BACKGROUND Vacuolar H-ATPase (V-ATPase) is a highly conserved protein complex which hydrolyzes ATP and pumps protons to acidify vacuolar vesicles.

A New Paramoeba Isolate From Florida Exhibits a Microtubule‐Bound Endosymbiont Closely Associated With the Host Nucleus

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT The genera Paramoeba and Neoparamoeba, within the family Paramoebidae (order Dactylopodida), are distinguished by their dactylopodial pseudopodia and the presence of an intracellular eukaryotic symbiont, the Perkinsela‐like organism (PLO). Taxonomic classification within these genera has been challenging due to overlapping morphological traits

Advanced DNA–Gold Biointerface for PCR‐Free Molecular Detection of Leishmania infantum

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 12, Issue 5, March 3, 2025.
The development of DNA–gold biointerface is proposed for the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)‐free molecular detection of protozoan Leishmania infantum and the experimental and theoretical investigation of its surface properties, in terms of oligonucleotide probes grafting density and sensing interface isoelectric properties, toward the improvement of ...

Evolution of energy metabolism and its compartmentation in Kinetoplastida [PDF]

Kinetoplastid Biology and Disease, 2003
Kinetoplastida are protozoan organisms that probably diverged early in evolution from other eukaryotes. They are characterized by a number of unique features with respect to their energy and carbohydrate metabolism. These organisms possess peculiar peroxisomes, called glycosomes, which play a central role in this metabolism; the organelles harbour ...

Trypanosoma cruzi infection enhances olfactory response in Triatoma pallidipennis Stål (Hemiptera: Triatominae) to compounds potentially useful for insect control

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 160-170, March 2025.
Triatoma pallidipennis is one of the main vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. Attractant activity of octenol, nonanal and a mixture of lactic acid, hexanoic acid and ammonium hydroxide on T. cruzi–infected and non‐infected T. pallidipennis nymphal stages.
