Metabolite-dependent regulation of gene expression in trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
, 2013 Mechanisms regulating gene expression in trypanosomatid protozoa differ significantly from those in other eukaryotes. Transcription of the genome appears to be more or less constitutive with the polyadenylation and trans-splicing of large polycistronic ...

Resolving Trypanosoma brucei Flagellar Structure by Cryo-Electron Tomography [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 Trypanosoma brucei is a unicellular eukaryote that can cause human African trypanosomiasis, which has continued to evolve and spread. The key feature of these parasites is that they have a flagellum consists of a typical 9 + 2 axoneme and a lattice-like ...

The Antiprotozoal Activity of Papua New Guinea Propolis and Its Triterpenes
Molecules, 2022 Profiling a propolis sample from Papua New Guinea (PNG) using high-resolution mass spectrometry indicated that it contained several triterpenoids. Further fractionation by column chromatography and medium-pressure liquid chromatography (MPLC) followed by

Autoimmunity to phosphatidylserine and anemia in African Trypanosome infections.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021 Anemia caused by trypanosome infection is poorly understood. Autoimmunity during Trypanosoma brucei infection was proposed to have a role during anemia, but the mechanisms involved during this pathology have not been elucidated. In mouse models and human

Molecular variation of Trypanosoma brucei subspecies as revealed by AFLP fingerprinting [PDF]
, 2002 Genetic analysis of Trypanosoma spp. depends on the detection of variation between strains. We have used the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique to develop a convenient and reliable method for genetic characterization of Trypanosome ...

The trypanosomal transferrin receptor of trypanosoma brucei : a review [PDF]
, 2019 Iron is an essential element for life. Its uptake and utility requires a careful balancing with its toxic capacity, with mammals evolving a safe and bio-viable means of its transport and storage. This transport and storage is also utilized as part of the

Transport of -Aminoisobutyrate into Trypanosoma brucei brucei [PDF]
Microbiology, 1984 The uptake of alpha-aminoisobutyrate (AIB) by washed cell suspensions of bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma brucei brucei has been shown to be an energy-dependent process. No metabolism of AIB was detected under conditions leading to a 100-fold accumulation of AIB within the organism. Kinetic studies revealed that AIB uptake involved two components; that
