Population genetics of Trypanosoma brucei circulating in Glossina palpalis palpalis and domestic animals of the Fontem sleeping sickness focus of Cameroon

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Human African Trypanosomiasis is still a public health threat in Cameroon. To assess Trypanosoma brucei strains circulating in the Fontem sleeping sickness focus, we conducted a genetic structure study using microsatellites to assess genotypes

An Atypical Mitochondrial Carrier That Mediates Drug Action in Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

, 2015
Elucidating the mechanism of action of trypanocidal compounds is an important step in the development of more efficient drugs against Trypanosoma brucei. In a screening approach using an RNAi library in T. brucei bloodstream forms, we identified a member

P-type transport ATPases in Leishmania and Trypanosoma

Parasite, 2019
P-type ATPases are critical to the maintenance and regulation of cellular ion homeostasis and membrane lipid asymmetry due to their ability to move ions and phospholipids against a concentration gradient by utilizing the energy of ATP hydrolysis.

Phosphorylation-dependent protein interaction with Trypanosoma brucei 14-3-3 proteins that display atypical target recognition. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: The 14-3-3 proteins are structurally conserved throughout eukaryotes and participate in protein kinase signaling. All 14-3-3 proteins are known to bind to evolutionally conserved phosphoserine-containing motifs (modes 1 and/or 2) with high ...

SUMOylation in Trypanosoma brucei

PeerJ, 2013
Small ubiquitin like modifier (SUMO) proteins are involved in many processes in eukaryotes. We here show that Trypanosoma brucei SUMO (Tb927.5.3210) modifies many proteins. The levels of SUMOylation were unaffected by temperature changes but were increased by severe oxidative stress.

Golgi-associated phosphohydrolases in Trypanosoma brucei brucei

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1997
Various parasitic protozoa of the family Trypanosomatidae such as Crithidia spp. [1]; Trypanosoma cruzi [2]; Leishmania donovani [3] and salivarian trypanosomes [4-8] have been shown to contain acid phosphatase activity (EC.3.1.3.2, orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase activity).

The exopolyphosphatase TbrPPX1 of Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2011
Abstract Background Exopolyphosphatases and pyrophosphatases play important but still incompletely understood roles in energy metabolism, and also in other aspects of cell biology such as osmoregulation or signal transduction.

Increased Trypanosoma brucei cathepsin-L activity inhibits human serum-mediated trypanolysis

Microbial Cell, 2014
Most African trypanosomes, including the veterinary species Trypanosoma brucei brucei and T. congolense are susceptible to lysis by human serum. A recent study by Alsford et al. [PLoS Pathogens (2014) 10, e1004130] has identified a T. b. brucei lysosomal
