TrypanoCyc: a community-led biochemical pathways database for Trypanosoma brucei
The metabolic network of a cell represents the catabolic and anabolic reactions that interconvert small molecules (metabolites) through the activity of enzymes, transporters and non-catalyzed chemical reactions. Our understanding of individual metabolic networks is increasing as we learn more about the enzymes that are active in particular cells under particular conditions and as technologies a...
متن کاملGlobal metabolic responses of mice to Trypanosoma brucei brucei infection.
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is transmitted by tsetse flies and, if untreated, is fatal. Treatment depends on infection stage, and early diagnosis is crucial for effective disease management. The systemic host biochemical changes induced by HAT that enable biomarker discovery or relate to therapeutic outcome are largely unknown. We have characterized the multivariate temporal responses o...
متن کاملTrypanosoma 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 کاملMetabolic reprogramming during the Trypanosoma brucei life cycle
Cellular metabolic activity is a highly complex, dynamic, regulated process that is influenced by numerous factors, including extracellular environmental signals, nutrient availability and the physiological and developmental status of the cell. The causative agent of sleeping sickness, Trypanosoma brucei, is an exclusively extracellular protozoan parasite that encounters very different extracel...
متن کاملProtein isoprenylation in Trypanosoma brucei brucei.
Trypanosoma brucei is a digenetic protozoan parasite presenting a public health hazard in certain areas of Africa; it is transmitted between mammals (bloodstream form (BSF)) by tsetse flies (procyclic form (PCF)). We have an ongoing interest in small GTP proteins in T. brucei, and these are commonly isoprenylated. Many isoprenylated proteins belong to the rab family and include ras; the isopren...
