Polyamines in protozoan pathogens [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2018 Polyamines are polycationic organic amines that are required for all eukaryotic life, exemplified by the polyamine spermidine, which plays an essential role in translation. They also play more specialized roles that differ across species, and their chemical versatility has been fully exploited during the evolution of protozoan pathogens.

Phospholipases A and Lysophospholipases in protozoan parasites
Microbial Cell, 2023 Phospholipases (PLs) and Lysophospholipases (LysoPLs) are a diverse group of esterases responsible for phospholipid or lysophospholipid hydrolysis. They are involved in several biological processes, including lipid catabolism, modulation of the immune ...

Inhibition of apoptosis by intracellular protozoan parasites
, 2001 Protozoan parasites which reside inside a host cell avoid direct destruction by the immune system of the host. The infected cell, however, still has the capacity to counteract the invasive pathogen by initiating its own death, a process which is called ...

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius
