An essential role of KREPB4 in RNA editing and structural integrity of the editosome in Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

, 2007

Structural basis of ligand selectivity in FAD/NAD(P)H‐dependent dehydrogenases: insights from trypanothione reductase and type II NADH dehydrogenase

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract FAD/NAD(P)H‐dependent dehydrogenases form a structurally conserved family of redox enzymes that participate in essential metabolic processes across parasites and higher organisms. Among them, trypanothione reductase (TR) is a key component of the redox metabolism of Leishmania species and represents an attractive target for antileishmanial ...

Trypanosoma Brucei Aquaglyceroporins Facilitate the Uptake of Arsenite and Antimonite in a pH Dependent Way

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2013
Background: Trypanosoma brucei is a primitive parasitic protozoan that thrives in diverse environments such as the midgut of the tsetse fly and the blood of a mammalian host.

Mass spectrometry proteomics for studying mitostasis

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Maintaining mitochondrial integrity and function is fundamental to cellular homeostasis. Cells rely on coordinated protein quality control (QC) systems—including intricate chaperone‐protease networks, the ubiquitin‐proteasome system, and cytosolic surveillance pathways—that together form a dynamic, cell‐wide mitostasis network governing the ...

Editosome Accessory Factors KREPB9 and KREPB10 in Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

, 2012
Multiprotein complexes, called editosomes, catalyze the uridine insertion and deletion RNA editing that forms translatable mitochondrial mRNAs in kinetoplastid parasites.

Identification of Distinct Interacting Proteins of Giardia lamblia Centrins Using Yeast Two‐Hybrid Assays

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Giardia lamblia, a protozoan parasite that causes diarrhea in humans, contains two centrins implicated in cellular morphology and cell division. To identify proteins interacting with each G. lamblia centrin (GlCent), we performed a yeast two‐hybrid assay.

The system of genetic exchange in Trypanosoma brucei and other trypanosomatids [PDF]

, 2007
In this chapter, we discuss our current understanding of the systems of genetic exchange in trypanosomatids and the im-pact the recent genome projects have had on this area of research.

Genotypic status of the TbAT1/P2 adenosine transporter of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense isolates from northwestern Uganda following melarsoprol withdrawal [PDF]

, 2009
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) manifests as a chronic infection caused by <i>Trypanosoma brucei gambiense</i>, or as a more acute form due to <i>T. b. rhodesiense</i>.

Centromere-associated repeat arrays on Trypanosoma brucei chromosomes are much more extensive than predicted. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: African trypanosomes belong to a eukaryotic lineage which displays many unusual genetic features. The mechanisms of chromosome segregation in these diploid protozoan parasites are poorly understood. Centromeres in Trypanosoma brucei have been
