Pilot-Scale Compound Screening against RNA Editing Identifies Trypanocidal Agents [PDF]

SLAS Discovery, 2015
Most mitochondrial messenger RNAs in trypanosomatid pathogens undergo a unique type of posttranscriptional modification involving insertion and/or deletion of uridylates. This process, RNA editing, is catalyzed by a multiprotein complex (~1.6 MDa), the editosome.

The trans-Sialidase from Trypanosoma cruzi a Putative Target for Trypanocidal Agents [PDF]

The Open Parasitology Journal, 2010
Trypanosomatid protozoa are parasites of considerable medical and economical importance because they are the causative agents of chronic human and livestock diseases endemic in developing countries. Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas´ disease, present in most of Latin America. The biology of this parasite presents some unusual features,
