Characterization of Trypanosoma brucei brucei S-adenosyl-L-methionine decarboxylase and its inhibition by Berenil, pentamidine and methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone).

Biochemical Journal, 1986
Trypanosoma brucei brucei S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) decarboxylase was found to be relatively insensitive to activation by putrescine as compared with the mammalian enzyme, being stimulated by only 50% over a 10,000-fold range of putrescine ...

Subpellicular and flagellar microtubules of Trypanosoma brucei brucei contain the same alpha-tubulin isoforms

Journal of Cell Biology, 1987
The cytoskeleton of the parasitic hemoflagellate Trypanosoma brucei brucei essentially consists of two microtubule-based structures: a subpellicular layer of singlet microtubules, which are in close contact with the cell membrane, and the flagellar ...

Cytochrome oxidase subunit VI of Trypanosoma brucei is imported without a cleaved presequence and is developmentally regulated at both RNA and protein levels [PDF]

, 2001
Mitochondrial respiration in the African trypanosome undergoes dramatic developmental stage regulation. This requires co-ordinated control of components encoded by both the nuclear genome and the kinetoplast, the unusual mitochondrial genome of these ...

Bioactivity profiles of progressively ring‐fluorinated cyclohexyl motifs in the WKYMVm peptide as formylpeptide FPR2 agonists and in keto‐piperazines as anti‐trypanosome agents.

ChemBioChem, Accepted Article.
A series of all‐cis ring fluorinated cyclohexylalanines with progressively increasing levels of vicinal fluorines, as well as 4‐fluorophenylalanine and pentafluoroarylphenylalanine were introduced into the WKYMVm peptide in place of its tyrosine residue, for assays against the G‐protein coupled formylpeptide receptor, FPR2.

Trypanosoma evansi: Genetic variability detected using amplified restriction fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis of Kenyan isolates [PDF]

, 2006
We compared two methods to generate polymorphic markers to investigate the population genetics of Trypanosoma evansi; random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and amplified restriction fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analyses.

Beyond Histones: Unveiling the Functional Roles of Protein Acetylation in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes

Cell Biology International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lysine acetylation plays a crucial role in cellular processes and is found across various evolutionary organisms. Recent advancements in proteomic techniques revealed the presence of acetylation in thousands of non‐histone proteins. Here, we conducted extensive meta‐analysis of 48 acetylomes spanning diverse organisms, including archaea ...

Parasite motility is critical for virulence of African trypanosomes. [PDF]

, 2018
African trypanosomes, Trypanosoma brucei spp., are lethal pathogens that cause substantial human suffering and limit economic development in some of the world's most impoverished regions.

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 ...

Lysosomal and non-lysosomal peptidyl hydrolases of the bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma brucei brucei.

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1987
African trypanosomes have thiol-dependent proteolytic activity that resembles some of the cathepsin-like activity found in mammalian lysosomes [Lonsdale-Eccles, J. D. & Mpimbaza, G. W. N. (1986) Eur. J. Biochem. 155, 469-473].
