A multigene family encoding surface glycoproteins in Trypanosoma congolense [PDF]
Microbial Cell, 2017 Trypanosoma congolense, the causative agent of the most important livestock disease in Africa, expresses specific surface proteins involved in its parasitic lifestyle. Unfortunately, the complete repertoire of such molecules is far from being deciphered.

The Hypervariable Tpr Multigene Family of Theileria Parasites, Defined by a Conserved, Membrane-Associated, C-Terminal Domain, Includes Several Copies with Defined Orthology Between Species. [PDF]
J Mol Evol, 2023 Multigene families often play an important role in host-parasite interactions. One of the largest multigene families in Theileria parva, the causative agent of East Coast fever, is the T. parva repeat (Tpr) gene family.

Species-Specific Duplication of Surface Antigen Genes in Paramecium
Microorganisms, 2022 Paramecium is a free-living ciliate that undergoes antigenic variation and still the functions of these variable surface antigen coats in this non-pathogenic ciliate remain elusive.

Multigene families and vestigial sequences [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1986 Random duplication and deletion events generate complex genomes carrying a large amount of dispensable sequences. We have simulated such events in a computer model. We followed the evolution of a genome carrying at least one copy of each type of gene.

Antigenicity and adhesiveness of a Plasmodium vivax VIR-E protein from Brazilian isolates
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2022 BACKGROUND Plasmodium vivax, the major cause of malaria in Latin America, has a large subtelomeric multigene family called vir. In the P. vivax genome, about 20% of its sequences are vir genes.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Guanylate binding proteins (GBPs) are paramount in the host immunity by providing defense against invading pathogens. Multigene families related to the immune system usually show that the duplicated genes can either undergo deletion, gain new functions ...

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1998 Most vascular plants can acquire phosphate from the environment either directly, via the roots, or indirectly, via a fungal symbiont that invades the cortical cells of the root. Here we have identified two cDNA clones (MtPT1 and MtPT2) encoding phosphate
