Genome-wide analysis of 30 -untranslated regions supports the existence of post-transcriptional regulons controlling gene expression in trypanosomes [PDF]
, 2013 In eukaryotic cells, a group of messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNAs) encoding functionally interrelated proteins together with the trans-acting factors that coordinately modulate their expression is termed a post-transcriptional regulon, due to their ...

Immunoelectrophoretic comparison of Trypanosoma vespertilionis and Trypanosoma cruzi.
Revista de biologia tropical, 1971 Immunoelectrophoretically, T. vespertilionis showed five of seven antigenic fractions found with T. cruzi antigen, indicating a close similarity between these two species. An antigen made of L. braziliensis promastigotes did not give any precipitation band against T. cruzi antiserum.

Cytochrome oxidase subunit VI of Trypanosoma brucei is imported without a cleaved presequence and is developmentally regulated at both RNA and protein levels [PDF]
, 2001 Mitochondrial respiration in the African trypanosome undergoes dramatic developmental stage regulation. This requires co-ordinated control of components encoded by both the nuclear genome and the kinetoplast, the unusual mitochondrial genome of these ...
