Structures of adenosine kinase fromTrypanosoma brucei brucei [PDF]

Acta Crystallographica Section F Structural Biology Communications, 2013
Trypanosoma brucei is a single-cellular parasite of the genus Kinetoplastida and is the causative agent of African sleeping sickness in humans. Adenosine kinase is a key enzyme in the purine-salvage pathway, phosphorylating adenosine to AMP, and also activates cytotoxic analogues such as cordycepin and Ara-A by their phosphorylation.

Trypanosoma brucei: meet the system [PDF]

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2014
African trypanosomes cause devastating diseases in humans and domestic animals. The parasites evolved early in the eukaryotic lineage and have numerous biochemical peculiarities that distinguish them from other systems. These include unconventional mechanisms for expressing nuclear and mitochondrial genes as well as unusual subcellular localizations ...

Targeting Kinetoplastid Parasites with ProTide Prodrugs: A Proof‐of‐Concept Study

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 7, 14 April 2026.
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) remain a major global health challenge, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Kinetoplastid parasites causing Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, and African trypanosomiasis rely on host purine salvage pathways, making nucleoside analogues attractive therapeutic candidates.

Localization of serum resistance-associated protein in Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and transgenic Trypanosoma brucei brucei.

Cellular microbiology, 2015
African trypanosomes infect a broad range of mammals, but humans and some higher primates are protected by serum trypanosome lytic factors that contain apolipoprotein L1 (ApoL1). In the human-infective subspecies of Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, a gene product derived from the variant surface glycoprotein gene family member, serum

Alternative Approaches and Plant‐Based Remedies for Livestock Health Management Among the Batswana of Southern Africa: A Review

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Due to limited access to, and the high cost of conventional veterinary services, Batswana communities often rely on ethnoveterinary practices for livestock health management. This review provides an in‐depth analysis on the ethnoveterinary uses, biological properties and safety assessment of plants utilised in livestock husbandry. A systematic
