iLIR : a web resource for prediction of Atg8-family interacting proteins [PDF]

, 2014
Macroautophagy was initially considered to be a nonselective process for bulk breakdown of cytosolic material. However, recent evidence points toward a selective mode of autophagy mediated by the so-called selective autophagy receptors (SARs).

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.

Molecular characterization of EhAK6, an endonuclease V domain-containing aurora kinase protein from Entamoeba histolytica: Protein-protein interaction, docking and functional aspect

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.

High-resolution genotyping and mapping of recombination and gene conversion in the protozoan Theileria parva using whole genome sequencing [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Theileria parva is a tick-borne protozoan parasite, which causes East Coast Fever, a disease of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa. Like Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite undergoes a transient diploid life-cycle stage in the gut of the arthropod ...

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

Proteins of the Ciliated Protozoan Parasite Ichthyophthirius multifiliis Identified in Common Carp Skin Mucus

Pathogens, 2021
The skin mucus is the fish primary defense barrier protecting from infections via the skin epidermis. In a previous study, we have investigated the proteome of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) skin mucus at two different time points (1 and 9 days) post ...

Proteomic analysis of the ventral disc of Giardia lamblia

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.

Biogenesis of the inner membrane complex is dependent on vesicular transport by the alveolate specific GTPase Rab11B [PDF]

, 2010
Apicomplexan parasites belong to a recently recognised group of protozoa referred to as Alveolata. These protists contain membranous sacs (alveoli) beneath the plasma membrane, termed the Inner Membrane Complex (IMC) in the case of Apicomplexa.
