Mapping of VSG similarities in Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2012
The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei switches its variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) to subvert its mammalian hosts' immune responses. The T. brucei genome contains as many as 1600 VSG genes (VSGs), but most are silent noncoding pseudogenes. Only one functional VSG, located in a telomere-linked expression site, is transcribed at a time.

A histone methyltransferase modulates antigenic variation in African trypanosomes [PDF]

, 2008
To evade the host immune system, several pathogens periodically change their cell-surface epitopes. In the African trypanosomes, antigenic variation is achieved by tightly regulating the expression of a multigene family encoding a large repertoire of ...

Genome hyperevolution and the success of a parasite [PDF]

, 2012
The strategy of antigenic variation is to present a constantly changing population phenotype that enhances parasite transmission, through evasion of immunity arising within, or existing between, host animals.

Suppression of synchronous resonance for VSGs [PDF]

The Journal of Engineering, 2017
The virtual synchronous generator (VSG) is an attractive interfacing technique for high‐penetration renewable generation. By incorporating the inertia control, the grid‐connected voltage‐source converter can behave in a similar way with the SGs, which is helpful to enhance the stability of the power system.

Blocking Variant Surface Glycoprotein synthesis in Trypanosoma brucei triggers a general arrest in translation initiation [PDF]

, 2009
Background: The African trypanosome Trypanosoma brucei is covered with a dense layer of Variant Surface Glycoprotein (VSG), which protects it from lysis by host complement via the alternative pathway in the mammalian bloodstream.

Filtering of the minichromosomal VSG set.

, 2023
The VSG set was filtered based on RNA-seq read-mapping profiles. VSGs displaying full coding sequence activation were included in the analysis. VSGs with mapped reads restricted to the C-terminal coding sequence were excluded from further analysis. These

Functional insights from a surface antigen mRNA-bound proteome

eLife, 2021
Trypanosoma brucei is the causative agent of human sleeping sickness. The parasites’ variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) enables them to evade adaptive immunity via antigenic variation. VSG comprises 10% of total cell protein and the high stability of VSG

Antigenic diversity is generated by distinct evolutionary mechanisms in African trypanosome species [PDF]

, 2012
Antigenic variation enables pathogens to avoid the host immune response by continual switching of surface proteins. The protozoan blood parasite Trypanosoma brucei causes human African trypanosomiasis ("sleeping sickness") across sub-Saharan Africa and ...
