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.

Human, vector and parasite Hsp90 proteins: A comparative bioinformatics analysis
FEBS Open Bio, 2015 The treatment of protozoan parasitic diseases is challenging, and thus identification and analysis of new drug targets is important. Parasites survive within host organisms, and some need intermediate hosts to complete their life cycle.

Identification of putative potassium channel homologues in pathogenic protozoa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 K(+) channels play a vital homeostatic role in cells and abnormal activity of these channels can dramatically alter cell function and survival, suggesting that they might be attractive drug targets in pathogenic organisms.

Current Research in Biotechnology, 2021 Entamoeba histolytica is responsible for amoebiasis in humans. Its atypical cell cycle events and unique stress defense mechanisms make it different from other protozoan parasites.

Proteomic Identification of Oxidized Proteins in Entamoeba histolytica by Resin-Assisted Capture: Insights into the Role of Arginase in Resistance to Oxidative Stress. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016 Entamoeba histolytica is an obligate protozoan parasite of humans, and amebiasis, an infectious disease which targets the intestine and/or liver, is the second most common cause of human death due to a protozoan after malaria.

Efficient oral vaccination by bioengineering virus-like particles with protozoan surface proteins
Nature Communications, 2019 Giardia lamblia express a dense coat of variant-specific surface proteins (VSPs) on trophozoites that protects the parasite inside the host´s intestine. Here the authors show that stability and immunomodulatory properties of VSPs can be exploited to both

Evolution of apoptosis-like programmed cell death in unicellular protozoan parasites
Parasites & Vectors, 2011 Apoptosis-like programmed cell death (PCD) has recently been described in multiple taxa of unicellular protists, including the protozoan parasites Plasmodium, Trypanosoma and Leishmania.

Proteomic analysis of the ventral disc of
BMC Research Notes, 2012 Background Giardia lamblia is a multiflagellated protozoan that inhabits the small intestine of vertebrates, causing giardiasis. To colonize the small intestine, the trophozoites form of the parasite remains attached to intestinal epithelial cells by ...

Regulation of RNA binding proteins in trypanosomatid protozoan parasites
World Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2016 Posttranscriptional mechanisms have a critical role in the overall outcome of gene expression. These mechanisms are especially relevant in protozoa from the genus Trypanosoma, which is composed by death threatening parasites affecting people in Sub-saharan Africa or in the Americas.
