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.

Genomic Databases and the Search of Protein Targets for Protozoan Parasites [PDF]
Current Drug Targets, 2009 The development of databases devoted to biological information opened the possibility to integrate, query and analyze biological data obtained from several sources that otherwise would be scattered through the web. Several issues arise in the handling of biological information, mainly due to the diversity of biological subject matter and the complexity

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.

N-linked glycosylation of proteins in the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2008 Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite of animal cells. Infection of humans is common and may result in devastating disease, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Despite previous reports that N-glycosylation of proteins may be a rare post-translational modification in this and related organisms, we demonstrate that it is ...

Characterization of a novel association between two trypanosome-specific proteins and 5S rRNA. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 P34 and P37 are two previously identified RNA binding proteins in the flagellate protozoan Trypanosoma brucei. RNA interference studies have determined that the proteins are essential and are involved in ribosome biogenesis.
