N‐Glycoproteomics of the Apicomplexan Parasite Toxoplasma gondii

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, Volume 25, Issue 8, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Protein N‐glycosylation influences protein folding, stability, and trafficking, and has prominent functions in cell–cell adhesion and recognition. For the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, N‐glycosylation of proteins is crucial for initial adhesion to host cells, parasite motility, and consequently, its ability to invade host cells.

Comparative ribosome profiling reveals extensive translational complexity in different Trypanosoma brucei life cycle stages

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2014
While gene expression is a fundamental and tightly controlled cellular process that is regulated at multiple steps, the exact contribution of each step remains unknown in any organism. The absence of transcription initiation regulation for RNA polymerase

C-terminal mutants of apolipoprotein L-I efficiently kill both Trypanosoma brucei brucei and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2009
Apolipoprotein L-I (apoL1) is a human-specific serum protein that kills Trypanosoma brucei through ionic pore formation in endosomal membranes of the parasite. The T.

From fat storage to immune hubs: the emerging role of adipocytes in coordinating the immune response to infection

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 8, Page 1868-1883, April 2025.
Traditionally, adipocytes have been viewed as energy storage units, which upregulate inflammatory factors in response to obesity. However, emerging evidence demonstrates that adipocytes are highly responsive to systemic infection, and upregulate cytokines and antimicrobial compounds in response.

Structure of thioredoxin from Trypanosoma brucei brucei

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2003
The three‐dimensional structure of thioredoxin from Trypanosoma brucei brucei has been determined at 1.4 Å resolution. The overall structure is more similar to that of human thioredoxin than to any other thioredoxin structure. The most striking difference to other thioredoxins is the absence of a buried carboxylate behind the active site cysteines ...

The protozoan nucleus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The nucleus is arguably the defining characteristic of eukaryotes, distinguishing their cell organisation from both bacteria and archaea. Though the evolutionary history of the nucleus remains the subject of debate, its emergence differs from several ...

Synthesis of biotinylated probes of artemisinin for affinity labeling

open access: yesData in Brief, 2015
In this data article, we described the synthetic routes to four biotinylated probes (2, 3, 4, and 5) of artemisinin and the associated experimental procedures. We also provided the physical data for the synthesized compounds.

The Innate Immune Sensor Zbp1 Mediates Central Nervous System Inflammation Induced by Angiostrongylus Cantonensis by Promoting Macrophage Inflammatory Phenotypes

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 11, March 20, 2025.
This study reveals that Zbp1 plays a pivotal role in regulating neuroimmune interactions during Angiostrongylus cantonensis (AC) infection. Zbp1 modulates lymphocyte infiltration and natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity by promoting cytokine secretion and M1 polarization of macrophages, shaping the CNS immune microenvironment.

High-Confidence Glycosome Proteome for Procyclic Form Trypanosoma brucei by Epitope-Tag Organelle Enrichment and SILAC Proteomics

open access: yesJournal of Proteome Research, 2014
The glycosome of the pathogenic African trypanosome Trypanosoma brucei is a specialized peroxisome that contains most of the enzymes of glycolysis and several other metabolic and catabolic pathways.

Characterization of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense variant surface glycoprotein LiTat 1.5 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
At present, all available diagnostic antibody detection tests for Trypanosoma brucei gambiense human African trypanosomiasis are based on predominant variant surface glycoproteins (VSGs), such as VSG LiTat 1.5. During investigations aiming at replacement
