Transcriptome Analysis of Encystation in Entamoeba invadens
Encystation is an essential differentiation process for the completion of the life cycle of a group of intestinal protozoa including Entamoeba histolytica, the causative agent of intestinal and extraintestinal amebiasis. However, regulation of gene expression during encystation is poorly understood. To comprehensively understand the process at the molecular level, the transcriptomic profiles of...
متن کاملAutophagy during proliferation and encystation in the protozoan parasite Entamoeba invadens.
Autophagy is one of the three systems responsible for the degradation of cytosolic proteins and organelles. Autophagy has been implicated in the stress response to starvation, antigen cross-presentation, the defense against invading bacteria and viruses, differentiation, and development. Saccharomyces cerevisiae Atg8 and its mammalian ortholog, LC3, play an essential role in autophagy. The inte...

متن کاملMetabolic Profiling of the Protozoan Parasite Entamoeba invadens Revealed Activation of Unpredicted Pathway during Encystation
Encystation, which is cellular differentiation from the motile, proliferative, labile trophozoite form to the dormant, resistant cyst form, is a crucial process found in parasitic and free-living protozoa such as Entamoeba, Giardia, Acanthamoeba, and Balamuthia. Since encystation is an essential process to deal with the adverse external environmental changes during the life cycle, and often int...
متن کاملChitin synthase in encysting Entamoeba invadens.
Although the cyst wall of Entamoeba invadens contains chitin, synthesis of this structural polymer during encystation has not been described before. Here we report that conditions which stimulate encystation of the parasite lead to increased chitin synthase (ChS) activity, measured by incorporation of [3H]GlcNAc ([3H]N-acetylglucosamine) from UDP-GlcNAc. The radiolabelled product was precipitab...
