Acidocalcisomes in Apicomplexan parasites.
Acidocalcisomes are acidic calcium stores found in diverse organisms, being conserved from bacteria to man. They posses an acidic matrix that contains several cations bound to phosphates, mainly present in the form of short and long polyphosphate chains. Their matrix is acidified through the action of proton pumps such as a vacuolar proton ATPase and a vacuolar proton pyrophosphatase. The calci...
متن کاملRole of Aberrant Alternative Splicing in Cancer
Alternative splicing can alter genome sequence and as a consequence, many genes change to oncogenes. This event can also affect protein function and diversity. The growing number of study elucidate the pathological influence of impaired alternative splicing events on numerous disease including cancer. Here, we would like to highlight the significant role of alternative splicing in cancer biolog...
متن کاملCytoskeleton of apicomplexan parasites.
The Apicomplexa are a phylum of diverse obligate intracellular parasites including Plasmodium spp., the cause of malaria; Toxoplasma gondii and Cryptosporidium parvum, opportunistic pathogens of immunocompromised individuals; and Eimeria spp. and Theileria spp., parasites of considerable agricultural importance. These protozoan parasites share distinctive morphological features, cytoskeletal or...
متن کاملInsP3 Signaling in Apicomplexan Parasites
BACKGROUND Phosphoinositides (PIs) and their derivatives are essential cellular components that form the building blocks for cell membranes and regulate numerous cell functions. Specifically, the ability to generate myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) via phospholipase C (PLC) dependent hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) to InsP3 and diacylglycerol (DAG) initiates i...
متن کاملATG8 localization in apicomplexan parasites
Macroautophagy (hereafter referred to as autophagy) is a major intracellular degradation system that, in eukaryotes, is mediated by a special organelle, the autophagosome. Upon autophagy induction, small pieces of the cytoplasm are enclosed by phagophores, which mature into autophagosomes. Then, completed autophagosomes fuse with the lysosome, and the cytoplasm-derived materials inside the auto...
