Distinct roles in autophagy and importance in infectivity of the two ATG4 cysteine peptidases of leishmania major [PDF]

, 2013
Macroautophagy in Leishmania, which is important for the cellular remodeling required during differentiation, relies upon the hydrolytic activity of two ATG4 cysteine peptidases (ATG4.1 and ATG4.2).

Functional analysis of Leishmania major cyclophilin

International Journal for Parasitology, 2008
A potent immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A (CsA) is known to inhibit human cell infection by the pathogenic protozoan parasite Leishmania major both in vitro and in vivo. The proposed mechanism of action involves CsA binding to Leishmania major-expressed cyclophilin and subsequent down-regulation of signaling events necessary for establishing ...

The role of leishmania proteophosphoglycans in sand fly transmission and infection of the Mammalian host. [PDF]

, 2012
Leishmania are transmitted by the bite of their sand fly vector and this has a significant influence on the virulence of the resulting infection. From our studies into the interaction between parasite, vector, and host we have uncovered an important ...

New Insights Into the Three‐Dimensional Mechanics of the Flagellar Beat Cycle

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advances in imaging at the molecular scale have provided greater detail concerning the three‐dimensional structure of the ciliary/flagellar axoneme. Additionally, it has recently been confirmed that electrostatic forces regulate the dynein‐tubulin interaction at the microtubule binding domain (MTBD) of dynein, and at the junction of the nexin ...

Inhibition of pteridine reductase 1 (PTR1) expression in Leishmania promastigotes using a full-length antisense construct [PDF]

, 2009
Leishmania exhibit many unusual features, one of which is the pteridine metabolic pathway essential for the growth for these parasites. Leishmania have evolved a complex and versatile pteridine salvage network capable of scavenging a wide array of ...

Heterogeneity of cysteine proteinases in Leishmania braziliensis and Leishmania major.

Brazilian journal of medical and biological research = Revista brasileira de pesquisas medicas e biologica, 1994
Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) with acrylamide copolymerized with gelatin (substrate-SDS-PAGE) was used to compare promastigote proteinases from two Leishmania species (L. braziliensis and L. major-like). Substrate-SDS-PAGE resolved at least 6 distinct proteinase activities with relative molecular masses between 20
