Structural Insights Into the Function of Leishmania major Adenylosuccinate Lyase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
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 ...

Charaterization of Leishmania major Friedlin Telomeric Terminus [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2002
Here we have characterized Leishmania major (Friedlin) telomeric terminus (the very end) using recombinants obtained by a vector-adaptor cloning protocol. As in L. donovani, the last nine nucleotides of L. major terminus are 5'-GGTTAGGGT-OH 3', differing from Trypanosoma cruzi and T.

Molecular mechanisms of drug resistance in natural Leishmania populations vary with genetic background [PDF]

, 2012
The evolution of drug-resistance in pathogens is a major global health threat. Elucidating the molecular basis of pathogen drug-resistance has been the focus of many studies but rarely is it known whether a drug-resistance mechanism identified is ...

‘Reservoir dogs’: The emerging zoonotic risk associated with European dog imports to the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The movement of dogs from continental Europe to the UK poses a growing public health threat due to the associated risk of disease incursions. Current legislation is insufficient to address the risks and pre‐import control measures are focused only on rabies virus and the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Methods We conducted
