Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-dependent protein trafficking in bloodstream stage Trypanosoma brucei.
We have previously demonstrated that glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors strongly influence protein trafficking in the procyclic insect stage of Trypanosoma brucei (M. A. McDowell, D. A. Ransom, and J. D. Bangs, Biochem. J. 335:681-689, 1998), where GPI-minus variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) reporters have greatly reduced rates of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) exit but are ultimately secr...
متن کاملGlycosylphosphatidylinositol-dependent secretory transport in Trypanosoma brucei.
We have investigated the role of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors in forward secretory trafficking using African trypanosomes as a model system. Soluble GPI-minus forms of variant surface glycoprotein (VSG), in which the C-terminal GPI-addition peptide signal is deleted, are secreted from transformed procyclic trypanosomes with 5-fold reduced kinetics, relative to matched GPI-anchored...
متن کاملCell density-dependent ectopic expression in bloodstream form Trypanosoma brucei
Ectopic expression of either wild type or mutant proteins is a standard method in cell biology, and a vital part of the tool kit of molecular parasitology. During study of protein expression levels mediating intracellular trafficking, we became aware of highly variable expression between experiments. When investigated systematically it became apparent that ectopic expression of proteins from a ...
متن کاملLife Stage-Specific Cargo Receptors Facilitate Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-Anchored Surface Coat Protein Transport in Trypanosoma brucei
The critical virulence factor of bloodstream-form Trypanosoma brucei is the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored variant surface glycoprotein (VSG). Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) exit of VSG is GPI dependent and relies on a discrete subset of COPII machinery (TbSec23.2/TbSec24.1). In other systems, p24 transmembrane adaptor proteins selectively recruit GPI-anchored cargo into nascent COPII ...
متن کاملUnfolded Protein Response Pathways in Bloodstream-Form Trypanosoma brucei?
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a stress mechanism to cope with misfolded proteins in the early secretory pathway, the hallmark being transcriptional upregulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) molecular chaperones such as BiP and protein disulfide isomerase. Despite the lack of transcriptional regulation and the absence of the classical UPR machinery, African trypanosomes apparently resp...
