Status of respiration and ATP content in arsenite resistantLeishmania mexicana amazonensis

Microbial Pathogenesis, 1999
Cellular ATP and rate of respiration are important for the cell survival. We have analyzed both the parameters in wild type and arsenite resistant Leishmania mexicana amazonensis. There was no significant change observed in the rate of respiration and cellular ATP content between drug resistant cells (resistance to 30 microM of sodium arsenite) and ...

Temperature‐induced expression of proteins in Leishmania mexicana amazonensis

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1990
Temperature increase is an integral part of Leishmania life cycle, and plays a major role in stage transformation. Analysis of the temperature‐dependent pattern of protein synthesis on two‐dimensional gel electrophoresis shows that, in addition to the conserved heat‐shock type of response in which expression of the major 70‐kDa and 83‐kDa heat‐shock ...

The Colonization of Lutzomyia Flaviscutellata (Diptera: Psychodidae), A Vector of Leishmania Mexicana Amazonensis in Brazil

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1977
A trap for the capture of live, fed Lutzomyia flaviscutellata (Mangabeira) is described. Females caught in it were the basis of a closed laboratory colony, which to date is in 9th generation; a total of 9732 adults have been produced. Larvae were fed on liver powder and yeast, and the average development time from egg to adult was 40.5 days.

Inhibition by superoxide dismutase and catalase of the damage of isolated Leishmania mexicana amazonensis by phenazine methosulfate

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1984
Phenazine methosulfate, a cationic electron carrier, inhibits the extracellular growth of promastigotes and the conversion of amastigotes into promastigote forms of Leishmania mexicana amazonensis. Growth inhibition and damage of extracellular parasites by PMS was counteracted by superoxide dismutase, a scavenger of the superoxide anion (O2-), and to a

Sequence analysis and transcriptional activation of heat shock protein 83 of Leishmania mexicana amazonensis

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1990
Changes in environmental temperature regulate the differential expression of genes during Leishmania stage differentiation. Therefore, molecular analysis of the heat shock proteins (HSPs) in these parasites is of interest as a model for thermoregulation of gene expression.

Leishmania mexicana amazonensis: ADP-ribosyltransferase antagonists specifically inhibit amastigote to promastigote differentiation

Experimental Parasitology, 1988
Leishmania mexicana amazonensis amastigotes were induced to differentiate by incubation at 27 C. Morphological transformation was studied both in untreated cultures and in cultures where DNA synthesis, and consequently the final stage in the production of promastigotes, was inhibited by hydroxyurea.

Identification of a transcription factor like protein at the TOR locus in Leishmania mexicana amazonensis

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1997
The TOR gene (TOxic nucleoside Resistance gene) was mapped to a 2.3 kb fragment on the amplified DNA from tubercidin resistant Leishmania (TUB). This DNA fragment conferred upon wild type cells resistance to tubercidin, inosine dialdehyde, formycin A and B and allopurinol riboside and a reduced ability to accumulate purine nucleobases and nucleosides ...

Receptor-Mediated Entry of Peroxidases Into the Parasitophorous Vacuoles of Macrophages Infected With Leishmania Mexicana Amazonensis

Journal of Leukocyte Biology, 1985
Abstract Leishmania amastigotes, obligatory parasites of macrophages, lodge and multiply within long-lived phagolysosomelike “parasitophorous vacuoles” (PV). The glycoprotein horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was shown, by light and electron microscopic cytochemistry, to enter the PVs of rat in vitro-derived bone marrow macrophages infected ...

Effects of phorbol ester on Leishmania mexicana amazonensis: an ultrastructural and cytochemical study.

Journal of submicroscopic cytology and pathology, 1988
Promastigotes and amastigotes of Leishmania mexicana amazonensis, incubated in the presence of 20 ng/ml of 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), an exogenous protein kinase C activator, developed several membrane and cytoplasmic alterations. Increased exocytic activity was observed especially in the amastigotes which had an enlarged flagellar ...
