Journal ArticleDOI
Structural and Biochemical Characterization of Plasmodium falciparum 12 (Pf12) Reveals a Unique Interdomain Organization and the Potential for an Antiparallel Arrangement with Pf41
Michelle L. Tonkin,Silvia A. Arredondo,Bianca Loveless,Jason J. Serpa,Karl A.T. Makepeace,Natarajan Sundar,Evgeniy V. Petrotchenko,Louis H. Miller,Michael E. Grigg,Martin J. Boulanger +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that Pf12 is highly conserved and under purifying selection, and details of its interaction with Pf41 reveal important insight into the structural and functional properties of this archetypal member of the 6-Cys protein family.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential protein expression throughout the life cycle of Trypanosoma congolense, a major parasite of cattle in Africa.
Brett A. Eyford,Tatsuya Sakurai,Derek Smith,Bianca Loveless,Christiane Hertz-Fowler,John E. Donelson,Noboru Inoue,Terry W. Pearson +7 more
TL;DR: Six new proteins unique to T. congolense were discovered and special focus is given to lifecycle stage specific surface molecules among the life cycle stages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural characterization and epitope mapping of the Glutamic Acid/Alanine Rich protein from Trypanosoma congolense: Defining assembly on the parasite cell surface
Bianca Loveless,Jeremy W. Mason,Tatsuya Sakurai,Noboru Inoue,Morteza Razavi,Terry W. Pearson,Martin J. Boulanger +6 more
TL;DR: The data presented here suggest the possible structure-function relationships involved in replacement of the bloodstream form VSG by GARP as trypanosomes differentiate in the tsetse vector after a blood meal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Calflagin, a Flagellar Calcium-Binding Protein from Trypanosoma congolense.
Brett A. Eyford,Laura Kaufman,Orly Salama-Alber,Bianca Loveless,Matthew E. Pope,Robert D. Burke,Enock Matovu,Martin J. Boulanger,Terry W. Pearson +8 more
TL;DR: Results show that T. congolense calflagin possesses unique epitopes that differentiate this protein from homologues in other trypanosome species, and should be explored further for its utility in antigen-detection assays for diagnosis of cattle infections.
