Protein arginine methyltransferases in protozoan parasites
Parasitology, 2021 AbstractArginine methylation is a post-translational modification involved in gene transcription, signalling pathways, DNA repair, RNA metabolism and splicing, among others, mechanisms that in protozoa parasites may be involved in pathogenicity-related events.

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.

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).

A Type III Protein Arginine Methyltransferase from the Protozoan Parasite Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2009 Arginine methylation is a widespread post-translational modification of proteins catalyzed by a family of protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs). The ancient protozoan parasite, Trypanosoma brucei, possesses five putative PRMTs, a relatively large number for a single-celled eukaryote.

Sequence Analysis and Comparison of TCTP Proteins from Human Protozoan Parasites [PDF]
Acta Parasitologica, 2022 Abstract Purpose Translational controlled tumor protein (TCTP) is a functionally important protein in most eukaryotes because it participates in a wide variety of processes, the most representative being proliferation, differentiation, histamine release, cell death, protein synthesis and response to stress conditions.

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.

Regulation of Translation in the Protozoan Parasite Leishmania
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Leishmaniasis represents a serious health problem worldwide and drug resistance is a growing concern. Leishmania parasites use unusual mechanisms to control their gene expression.
