Control of Variant Surface Glycoprotein Expression by CFB2 in Trypanosoma brucei and Quantitative Proteomic Connections to Translation and Cytokinesis

mSphere, 2022
Variant surface glycoproteins (VSGs) coat parasitic African trypanosomes and underpin antigenic variation and immune evasion. These VSGs are superabundant virulence factors that are subject to posttranscriptional gene expression controls mediated via the

Antigenic variation in Trypanosoma brucei: joining the DOTs [PDF]

, 2008
African trypanosomes, such as <i>Trypanosoma brucei</i>, are protistan parasites that cause sleeping sickness. Though first described more than a century ago, trypanosomes remain a blight on the health of the human population and on the ...

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.

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 ...

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.

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

DNA break site at fragile subtelomeres determines probability and mechanism of antigenic variation in African trypanosomes. [PDF]

, 2013
Antigenic variation in African trypanosomes requires monoallelic transcription and switching of variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) genes. The transcribed VSG, always flanked by '70 bp'-repeats and telomeric-repeats, is either replaced through DNA double ...
