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.

Heat shock protein 90 from neglected protozoan parasites
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2012 Significant advances have been made in our understanding of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) in terms of its structure, biochemical characteristics, post-translational modifications, interactomes, regulation and functions. In addition to yeast as a model several new systems have now been examined including flies, worms, plants as well as mammalian cells ...

An ancestral secretory apparatus in the protozoan parasite Giardia intestinalis [PDF]
, 2003 The protozoan parasite Giardia intestinalis belongs to one of the earliest diverged eukaryotic lineages. This is also reflected in a simple intracellular organization, as Giardia lacks common subcellular compartments such as mitochondria, peroxisomes ...

Protein Lactylation Critically Regulates Energy Metabolism in the Protozoan Parasite Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Lysine lactylation has been recognized as a novel post-translational modification occurring on histones. However, lactylation in non-histone proteins, especially in proteins of early branching organisms, is not well understood. Energy metabolism and the histone repertoire in the early diverging protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent

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.

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.

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.

Tracking autophagy during proliferation and differentiation of trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
, 2014 Autophagy is a lysosome-dependent degradation mechanism that sequesters target cargo into autophagosomal vesicles. The Trypanosoma brucei genome contains apparent orthologues of several autophagy-related proteins including an ATG8 family. These ubiquitin-

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 ...
