Frontiers in research on parasitic protozoa.
Frontiers in research on parasitic protozoa was the theme of the Autumn Symposium of the British Section of the Society of Protozoologists, held 2 September 2002, in London, UK.
متن کاملTelomerase in kinetoplastid parasitic protozoa.
We have identified telomerase activity in extracts of three evolutionarily diverse kinetoplastid species: Trypanosoma brucei, Leishmania major, and Leishmania tarentolae. Telomerase activity was initially detected in extracts from insect form cells of all three kinetoplastid species by using a modification of the one-tube telomere repeat amplification protocol [Kim, N., et al. (1994) Science 26...
متن کاملCell fractionation of parasitic protozoa: a review.
Cell fractionation, a methodological strategy for obtaining purified organelle preparations, has been applied successfully to parasitic protozoa by a number of investigators. Here we present and discuss the work of several groups that have obtained highly purified subcellular fractions from trypanosomatids, Apicomplexa and trichomonads, and whose work have added substantially to our knowledge o...
متن کاملTargeting polyamines of parasitic protozoa in chemotherapy.
All parasitic protozoa contain polyamines and in recent years they, and their associated enzymes, have attracted attention as drug targets because they might reveal novel antiparasite therapies. How justified is this approach to drug discovery? In this review, Sylke Müller, Graham Coombs and Rolf Walter summarize the current status of research into drugs that exploit polyamine metabolism of try...
متن کاملRepetitive elements in genomes of parasitic protozoa.
Repetitive DNA elements have been a part of the genomic fauna of eukaryotes perhaps since their very beginnings. Millions of years of coevolution have given repeats central roles in chromosome maintenance and genetic modulation. Here we review the genomes of parasitic protozoa in the context of the current understanding of repetitive elements. Particular reference is made to repeats in five med...
