Trypanosoma brucei brucei
Protein synthesis in Trypanosoma brucei brucei was rapidly inhibited during polyamine depletion by DL-adifluoromethylornithine (DFMO) in vitro and in vivo. [3H]Leucine incorporation was depressed 30-40 % by 24 h and 80-90 % by 48 h of DFMO treatment. Concomitantly there was an apparent decrease in the synthesis of the variant-specific glycoprotein (VSG) in DFMO-treated trypanosomes, as measured...
متن کاملTrypanosoma evansi is alike to Trypanosoma brucei brucei in the subcellular localisation of glycolytic enzymes
Trypanosoma evansi, which causes surra, is descended from Trypanosoma brucei brucei, which causes nagana. Although both parasites are presumed to be metabolically similar, insufficient knowledge of T. evansi precludes a full comparison. Herein, we provide the first report on the subcellular localisation of the glycolytic enzymes in T. evansi, which is a alike to that of the bloodstream form (BS...
متن کاملTrypanosoma brucei brucei: Endocytic recycling is important for mouse infectivity
Endocytosis in the African trypanosome, Trypanosoma brucei, is intimately involved in maintaining homeostasis of the cell surface proteome, morphology of the flagellar pocket and has recently been demonstrated as a bona fide drug target. RNAi-mediated knockdown of many factors required for endocytic transport, including several small GTPases, the major coat protein clathrin and a clathrin-assoc...
متن کاملA transcription-independent epigenetic mechanism is associated with antigenic switching in Trypanosoma brucei
Antigenic variation in Trypanosoma brucei relies on periodic switching of variant surface glycoproteins (VSGs), which are transcribed monoallelically by RNA polymerase I from one of about 15 bloodstream expression sites (BES). Chromatin of the actively transcribed BES is depleted of nucleosomes, but it is unclear if this open conformation is a mere consequence of a high rate of transcription, o...
متن کاملParasitaemia in Rabbit Bucks Experimentally Infected with Trypanosoma Brucei Brucei
This study was designed to determine the levels of parasitaemia on 20 healthy domesticated rabbit bucks infected with Trypanosoma brucei brucei over a period of eight weeks. Ten out of the 20 bucks were infected with 1 ml of the parasite containing 1 X 10 trypanosomes and known as infected group A, while the remaining ten bucks were left uninfected as group B. The infected bucks were monitored ...
