Posttranslational modifications of heterologous proteins expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary The success of Nicotiana benthamiana as a workhorse for heterologous protein production is closely linked to its accessibility and tolerance to genetic manipulation, allowing efficient engineering of posttranslational protein modifications (PTMs) that are critical for the function and stability of heterologous proteins.

Paromomycin: Uptake and resistance in Leishmania donovani [PDF]

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2009
Paromomycin is currently in phase IV clinical trials against leishmaniasis. In the present work we elucidate the effect and mechanism of uptake of paromomycin in Leishmania donovani. The in vitro sensitivities of both promastigotes and amastigotes were determined to this aminoglycoside. Association of paromomycin with L.

Significantly lower anti-Leishmania IgG responses in Sudanese versus Indian visceral leishmaniasis.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
BackgroundVisceral leishmaniasis (VL), a widely distributed systemic disease caused by infection with the Leishmania donovani complex (L. donovani and L. infantum), is almost always fatal if symptomatic and untreated.

World Association for Veterinary Dermatology Consensus Statement for Diagnosis, and Evidence‐Based Clinical Practice Guidelines for Treatment and Prevention of Canine Leishmaniosis

Veterinary Dermatology, EarlyView.
Hyperkeratosis of (a) the footpads and (b) the nasal planum. ABSTRACT Background Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) due to Leishmania infantum remains common, and veterinarians do not always follow scientifically sound approaches for diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Objectives To provide consensus guidelines for diagnosis and evidence‐based guidelines for

Innate Immune B Cell Activation by Leishmania donovani Exacerbates Disease and Mediates Hypergammaglobulinemia

Cell Reports, 2016
Participation of B cells in the immune response by various antibody-independent mechanisms has recently been uncovered. B cells producing cytokines have been described for several infections and appear to regulate the adaptive immune response.

In Vitro Leishmanicidal Efficacy of Synthesized Arylidene Analogues of Glitazone

Drug Development Research, Volume 86, Issue 5, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Diabetes is a fast‐growing health issue in low‐ and middle‐income countries, with ~80% of diabetics living in the tropics and sub‐tropics. It is a deadly condition claiming the lives of millions of individuals annually, with no therapeutic treatment available to date. The management of diabetes is thus limited to symptomatic relief by glycemic

Carbon Dioxide Assimilation by Leishmania donovani [PDF]

Nature, 1960
WHILE studying the glucose metabolism of Leishmania donovani, the protozoan organism causing visceral leishmaniasis, it has been found that cell suspensions of this organism in a saline-bicarbonate buffer containing glucose can assimilate, a measurable amount of carbon dioxide along with the formation of different acidic end products1.

The first detection of Leishmania major in naturally infected Sergentomyia minuta in Portugal [PDF]

, 2013
Phlebotomine sandflies of the genus Sergentomyia are widely distributed throughout the Old World. It has been suggested that Sergentomyia spp are involved in the transmission of Leishmania in India and Africa, whereas Phlebotomus spp are thought to be ...

New insights into Sti1/Hop's cochaperone function highlight the complexity of proteostatic regulation

The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 14, Page 3629-3633, July 2025.
Sti1/Hop functions extend beyond scaffolding in the Hsp70‐Hsp90 chaperone complex to sequester misfolded proteins during cell stress. Consequently, imbalances between levels of Sti1/Hop relative to the rest of the proteostasis machinery negatively affect fitness and stress resilience. Comment on: https://doi/10.1111/febs.17389 Sti1/Hop is a cochaperone
