Journal ArticleDOI

The Genome of the African Trypanosome Trypanosoma brucei

Matthew Berriman, +104 more
- 15 Jul 2005 - 
TL;DR: Comparisons of the cytoskeleton and endocytic trafficking systems of Trypanosoma brucei with those of humans and other eukaryotic organisms reveal major differences.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genome sequence of Trypanosoma cruzi, etiologic agent of Chagas disease

Najib M. El-Sayed, +85 more
- 15 Jul 2005 - 
TL;DR: Although the Tritryp lack several classes of signaling molecules, their kinomes contain a large and diverse set of protein kinases and phosphatases; their size and diversity imply previously unknown interactions and regulatory processes, which may be targets for intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

The evolution of the cytoskeleton

TL;DR: The cytoskeleton is a system of intracellular filaments crucial for cell shape, division, and function in all three domains of life as mentioned in this paper, and the distribution of cytoskeletal filaments puts constraints on the likely prokaryotic line that made this leap of eukaryogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dyneins across eukaryotes: a comparative genomic analysis.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that dyneins have been lost from higher plants and it is shown that this is most likely because of a single loss of cytoplasmic dynein 1 from the ancestor of Rhodophyta and Viridiplantae, followed by lineage‐specific losses of other families.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting of a tetracycline-inducible expression system to the transcriptionally silent minichromosomes of Trypanosoma brucei.

TL;DR: In this article, loci on the endogenous minichromosomes of T. brucei were targeted for transgenics as a means to improve the regulation of a tetinducible construct.
