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

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

Evidence for regulated expression of Telomeric Repeat-containing RNAs (TERRA) in parasitic trypanosomatids [PDF]
The Telomeric Repeat-containing RNAs (TERRA) participate in the homeostasis of telomeres in higher eukaryotes. Here, we investigated the expression of TERRA in Leishmania spp.

SUMOylation inTrypanosoma brucei
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.

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

P-type transport ATPases in Leishmania and Trypanosoma
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.

Background Euphorbia is the largest genus in family Euphorbiaceae with a great biological and genetic diversity. The anti-trypanosomal activity of the crude extract of 15 Euphorbia species against Trypanosoma brucei brucei was carried out.

The African trypanosome, Trypanosoma brucei brucei, possesses at least two nucleoside transporter systems designated P1 and P2, the latter being implicated in the selective uptake of melaminophenyl arsenical drugs.

Tracking autophagy during proliferation and differentiation of trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
Autophagy is a lysosome-dependent degradation mechanism that sequesters target cargo into autophagosomal vesicles. The Trypanosoma brucei genome contains apparent orthologues of several autophagy-related proteins including an ATG8 family. These ubiquitin-

The lysis of Trypanosoma brucei brucei by human serum [PDF]
The natural immunity of humans to the cattle pathogen Trypanosoma brucei brucei, but not to the morphologically indistinguishable human pathogens T. brucei gambiense and T. brucei rhodesiense, is due to the selective killing of the parasite by normal human serum. The factor in human serum that mediates lysis of T. brucei brucei has long been attributed
