Histone post-translational modifications of Leishmania braziliensis. [PDF]
Histone post-translational modifications (hPTMs) constitute an epigenetic mechanism that plays a fundamental role in the regulation of gene expression in eukaryotic cells. In trypanosomatid parasites, such as Trypanosoma brucei, T. cruzi and Leishmania spp., gene regulation occurs mainly at the post-transcriptional level.

Structural Insights Into the Function of Leishmania major Adenylosuccinate Lyase
ABSTRACT One of several intriguing aspects of kinetoplastid biochemistry is the complete dependence on host purines and purine recycling due to the lack of a de novo purine biosynthesis pathway. Adenylosuccinate lyase (ASL, EC 4.3.2.2) is a key enzyme in the purine synthesis pathway responsible for the conversion of adenylosuccinate into adenosine ...

Anti-leishmanial Activity of Justicidone and its Synthetic Precursors
Justicidone, a C-5, C-8 dioxo-lignan of the arylnaphthalene type isolated from Justicia hyssopifolia, and its synthetic precursors were tested for the activity against Leishmania braziliensis and Leishmania amazonensis promastigotes in vitro. Justicidone

Thymus and Leishmania at the Crossroads: Autoimmunity and Cancer
Conceptual ‘Crossroads Model’ linking Leishmania, thymic infection and immune dysregulation: an integrative model is proposed in which Leishmania infection disrupts thymic architecture and stromal–thymocyte interactions. These alterations converge to promote defective tolerance, increased autoimmune risk and a microenvironment permissive to malignant ...

Leishmania braziliensis exosomes activate human macrophages to produce proinflammatory mediators [PDF]
Exosomes, organelles measuring 30-200nm, are secreted by various cell types. Leishmania exosomes consist of many proteins, including heat shock proteins, annexins, Glycoprotein 63, proteins exerting signaling activity and those containing mRNA and miRNA.
