Turning Bonding Into Function: The Emerging Role of the Bioactive Selenium─Metal Motif in Toxicology and Medicinal Chemistry

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Balancing Act: Se─M bond serving as the fulcrum of the balance scale to compare the different weight of toxicity and therapeutic effects in biological environment. ABSTRACT The synthesis and characterization of organo‐selenium compounds have attracted considerable interest for decades, driven by the search for efficient catalysts and bioinspired ...

Computer-aided identification of Trypanosoma brucei uridine diphosphate galactose 4'-epimerase inhibitors : toward the development of novel therapies for African sleeping sickness [PDF]

, 2010
Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of human African trypanosomiasis, affects tens of thousands of sub-Saharan Africans. As current therapeutics are inadequate due to toxic side effects, drug resistance, and limited effectiveness, novel therapies are

Structure of thioredoxin from Trypanosoma brucei brucei

FEBS 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 ...

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Common pathways and outliers in glucose catabolism across Trypanosomatidae

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Trypanosomatid parasites, including Trypanosoma sp., Leishmania sp., Phytomonas sp., and Vickermania sp., share a common motif: a metabolism built around the glycosome, a unique peroxisome‐derived organelle housing the first steps of glycolysis. Yet, these organisms have evolved remarkably diverse strategies to catabolize glucose, excreting distinct ...

Rescue of pATOM36‐depleted T. brucei by human MTCH1/2 reveals common features of protein insertases

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Human MTCH1 and MTCH2 (with an N‐terminal extension) functionally complement the loss of pATOM36 in T. brucei, indicating that these evolutionarily distant proteins recognize a common set of substrates and share fundamental principles of mitochondrial outer membrane protein insertion. Structural analyses reveal a common hydrophilic cavity, supporting a

Epigenetic and Metabolic Changes That Drive Trained Immunity in Response to Microbes and Vaccines

Immunology, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates how microbial products, vaccines and microbial metabolites activate pattern‐recognition receptor signalling, inducing metabolic rewiring and epigenetic remodelling. These changes establish long‐lasting trained immunity through the functional reprogramming of haematopoietic progenitors and innate immune cells, thereby

Expression of procyclin mRNAs during cyclical transmission of Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

, 2005
<i>Trypanosoma brucei</i>, the parasite causing human sleeping sickness, relies on the tsetse fly for its transmission. In the insect, EP and GPEET procyclins are the major surface glycoproteins of procyclic (midgut) forms of the parasite ...
