Protein synthesis by kinetosomes isolated from the protozoan Tetrahymena
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Specialized Section on Nucleic Acids and Related Subjects, 1962Abstract An increase in biuret-positive material occurs when kinetosomes isolated from the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis are incubated in a mixture containing amino acids, inorganic phosphorus, uridylic acid, cytidylic acid, guanylic acid, thymine, inosine, MgSO 4 , KF, hexose-diphosphate, ATP, pteroylglutamic acid, riboflavin, vitamin ...

Unconventional actins and actin-binding proteins in human protozoan parasites
International Journal for Parasitology, 2015Actin and its regulatory proteins play a key role in several essential cellular processes such as cell movement, intracellular trafficking and cytokinesis in most eukaryotes. While these proteins are highly conserved in higher eukaryotes, a number of unicellular eukaryotic organisms contain divergent forms of these proteins which have highly unusual ...

The role of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins in protozoan parasites
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2009The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily is one of the largest protein families with representatives in all kingdoms of life. Members of this superfamily are involved in a wide variety of transport processes with substrates ranging from small ions to relatively large polypeptides and polysaccharides, but also in cellular processes such as DNA repair,

Large‐scale survey for potentially targetable indels in bacterial and protozoan proteins
Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, 2005AbstractOur previous results demonstrated that some essential, housekeeping proteins from pathogenic microorganisms may contain sizable insertions–deletions in their sequences (compared to close human homologs) that can be responsible for unexpected virulence properties.

Isotopic labeling of recombinant proteins expressed in the protozoan host Leishmania tarentolae
Protein Expression and Purification, 2006Isotope labeling of recombinant proteins is a prerequisite for application of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) for the characterization of the three-dimensional structures and dynamics of proteins. Overexpression of isotopically labeled proteins in bacterial or yeast host organisms has several drawbacks. In this work, we tested whether the

Expression of a mitochondrial stress protein in the protozoan parasite Leishmania major
Journal of Cell Science, 1993ABSTRACT The DNA sequence has been determined of a gene from Leishmania major that shares sequence identity with members of the eukaryotic heat shock protein (hsp) 70 gene family. The deduced open reading frame for translation shares a number of features common to hsp70 stress proteins, including conserved amino acids implicated in ATP ...

Heat Shock Proteins in Protozoan Parasites – Leishmania spp.
2009In this review, we shall look into the heat shock proteins of kinetoplastid protozoa of the genus Leishmania. The leishmaniae possess a full complement of molecular chaperones, with peculiar additions. Heat shock proteins play crucial roles in both parts of the biphasic life cycle, having an impact, both on the temperature-induced differentiation from ...

In silico identification of the protein disulfide isomerase family from a protozoan parasite
Computational Biology and Chemistry, 2008Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) enzymes are eukaryotic oxidoreductases that catalyze the correct formation of disulfide bonds during protein folding. Structurally they are characterized by the presence of functional thioredoxin-like (Trx) domains.

Recombinant Protein Production in the Eukaryotic Protozoan Parasite Leishmania tarentolae: A Review
2011Leishmania tarentolae is a trypanosomatid protozoan parasite of the gecko, and has been established as a new eukaryotic expression system for the production of recombinant proteins. It seems that a protozoan parasite is a curious choice as the expression host; however, Trypanosomatidae are rich in glycoproteins with a pattern of glycosylation closely ...
