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

Identification of Trypanosoma cruzi Polyamine Transport Inhibitors by Computational Drug Repurposing [PDF]

, 2019
Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease, a parasitic infection endemic in Latin America. In T. cruzi the transport of polyamines is essential because this organism is unable to synthesize these compounds de novo.

Ruthenium‐Catalyzed CH Alkenylation of Trypanocidal Naphthoquinones: A Mechanistic Benchmarking Study

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
Computational roadmap to click‐ready quinones. Quantum chemical analysis reveals how substituents modulate the reactivity of trypanocidal naphthoquinones in Ru‐catalyzed CH alkenylation, guiding the design of sulfonyl‐fluoride scaffolds for next‐generation antiparasitic agents.

Th17 Cells Are More Protective Than Th1 Cells Against the Intracellular Parasite Trypanosoma cruzi

PLoS Pathogens, 2016
Th17 cells are a subset of CD4+ T cells known to play a central role in the pathogenesis of many autoimmune diseases, as well as in the defense against some extracellular bacteria and fungi.

Construction of three new Gateway® expression plasmids for Trypanosoma cruzi [PDF]

, 2014
We present here three expression plasmids for Trypanosoma cruzi adapted to the Gateway® recombination cloning system. Two of these plasmids were designed to express trypanosomal proteins fused to a double tag for tandem affinity purification (TAPtag ...

Challenges and Opportunities in State‐of‐the‐Art Proteomics Analysis for Biomarker Development From Plasma Extracellular Vesicles

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐bound particles secreted by cells, playing crucial roles in intercellular communication. The composition of EVs can undergo changes in response to stress and disease conditions, making them excellent biomarker candidates.

Virtual Screening Based on QSAR and Molecular Docking of Possible Inhibitors Targeting Chagas CYP51

Journal of Chemistry, 2021
Chagas is a neglected tropical disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi with no effective treatment in all its forms. There is a need to find more effective therapeutic alternatives with reduced toxicity.
