Crystal structure of Plasmodium vivax macrophage migration inhibitory factor. [PDF]

Acta Crystallogr F Struct Biol Commun
The production, crystallization and 1.8 Å resolution crystal structure of macrophage migratory inhibitory factor from P. vivax are reported.Plasmodium vivax is a major cause of malaria globally and has recently been transmitted locally in the USA. P. vivax produces homologs of host proteins, including cytokines such as macrophage migration inhibitory ...

Identification and Characterization of a Protozoan Uncoupling Protein in Acanthamoeba castellanii [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999
An uncoupling protein (UCP) has been identified in mitochondria from Acanthamoeba castellanii, a nonphotosynthetic soil amoeboid protozoon that, in molecular phylogenesis, appears on a branch basal to the divergence points of plants, animals, and fungi. The existence of UCP in A.

Duffy blood group system and the malaria adaptation process in humans

Revista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia, 2011
Malaria is an acute infectious disease caused by the protozoa of the genus Plasmodium. The antigens of the Duffy Blood Group System, in addition to incompatibilities in transfusions and hemolytic disease of the newborn, are of great interest in medicine ...

Protein palmitoylation in protozoan parasites

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2011
Palmitoylation plays an important role in the regulation of the localization and function of the modified protein. Although many aspects of protein palmitoylation have been identified in mammalian and yeast cells, little information is available of this modification in protozoan parasites.

Genes of mitochondrial origin in the genus Entamoeba [PDF]

, 2002
Entamoeba histolytica is the protozoan parasite that causes amoebic dysentery and amoebic liver abscesses in humans. For many years it was believed to be a primitive organism because it lacks many typical eukaryotic features including mitochondria ...

Antigenic diversity is generated by distinct evolutionary mechanisms in African trypanosome species [PDF]

, 2012
Antigenic variation enables pathogens to avoid the host immune response by continual switching of surface proteins. The protozoan blood parasite Trypanosoma brucei causes human African trypanosomiasis ("sleeping sickness") across sub-Saharan Africa and ...

The NF-κB Pathway: Modulation by Entamoeba histolytica and Other Protozoan Parasites

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Protozoan parasites have led to worldwide devastation because of their ability to cause infectious diseases. They have evolved as successful pathogens in part because of their remarkable and sophisticated ways to evade innate host defenses.

Advances in understanding red blood cell modifications by Babesia

PLoS Pathogens, 2022
Babesia are tick-borne protozoan parasites that can infect livestock, pets, wildlife animals, and humans. In the mammalian host, they invade and multiply within red blood cells (RBCs).

Release of Ecto-protein Kinases by the Protozoan ParasiteLeishmania major [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1997
Leishmania major promastigotes have externally oriented ecto-protein kinases (PK) that are capable of phosphorylating both endogenous membrane substrates and foreign proteins. Live parasites phosphorylate protamine sulfate, casein, and phosvitin but not bovine serum albumin.
