Carnitine in Trypanosoma brucei brucei

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1982
Abstract Bloodstream and culture forms of Trypanosoma brucei brucei contain high concentrations of intracellular l -carnitine, determined enzymatically (1.46 ± 0.28 and 4.49 ± 0.34 mM , respectively), a large proportion of which is non-esterified.

Transketolase in Trypanosoma brucei

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2011
A single copy gene, encoding a protein highly similar to transketolase from other systems, was identified in the Trypanosoma brucei genome. The gene was expressed in E. coli and the purified protein demonstrated transketolase activity with K(m) values of 0.2mM and 0.8mM respectively for xylulose 5-phosphate and ribose 5-phosphate.

The coatomer of Trypanosoma brucei

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2001
Coatomer is a multisubunit complex involved in trafficking of vesicles between the endoplasmatic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus. From sequence homologies, all seven subunits, alpha-, beta-, beta'-, gamma-, delta-, epsilon-, and zeta-COP, are encoded in the genome of Trypanosoma brucei.

Transport of methionine in Trypanosoma brucei brucei

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2000
African trypanosomes live free in the bloodstream and central nervous system of mammalian hosts and also within the midgut of the tsetse fly vectors which transmit them. The parasite plasma membrane represents the interface between both hosts and parasite, and trypanosomes accumulate many essential metabolites via specific transport processes.

Glycolysis in Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

open access: possibleEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 1980
The possibility that the glycosomes present in the bloodstream form of Trypanosoma brucei [Opperdoes, F. R. and Borst, P. (1977) FEBS Lett. 80, 360–364] constitute a separate pool of glycolytic intermediates within the cell was investigated.In titrations of intact cells with digitonin, a differential activation of glycolytic enzymes was observed ...

Kinetics of Methionine Transport and Metabolism by Trypanosoma brucei brucei and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2000
Methionine is an essential amino acid for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms; however, little is known concerning its utilization in African trypanosomes, protozoa of the Trypanosoma brucei group. This study explored the Michaelis-Menten kinetic constants for transport and pool formation as well as metabolic utilization of methionine by two ...
