Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of organelles in bacteria similar to acidocalcisomes of unicellular eukaryotes.
Manfredo J. Seufferheld,Mauricio Vieira,Felix A. Ruiz,Claudia O. Rodrigues,Silvia N.J. Moreno,Roberto Docampo +5 more
TL;DR: It is reported that the volutin granules of Agrobacterium tumefaciens possess properties similar to the acidocalcisomes, a compound isolated from a marine bacterium that has been shown to uncouple proton pyrophosphatase activity acting as a chloride/proton symport.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid Changes in Polyphosphate Content within Acidocalcisomes in Response to Cell Growth, Differentiation, and Environmental Stress inTrypanosoma cruzi
TL;DR: A critical role for these organelles in the adaptation of the parasite to environmental changes is suggested, as a result of analysis of purified T. cruzi acidocalcisomes, which were shown to contain polyphosphate kinase and exopolyphosphatase activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulatory volume decrease in Trypanosoma cruzi involves amino acid efflux and changes in intracellular calcium.
TL;DR: A regulatory volume decrease (RVD) in response to hyposmotic stress has been characterized in different life-cycle stages of Trypanosoma cruzi.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acidocalcisomes and a vacuolar H+-pyrophosphatase in malaria parasites.
TL;DR: The presence in malaria parasites of acidocalcisomes with similar characteristics to those described in trypanosomatids and Toxoplasma gondii is suggested, and the proton pyrophosphatase is located in intracellular vacuoles and the plasma membrane of trophozoites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Respiration and oxidative phosphorylation in the apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii
Anibal E. Vercesi,Anibal E. Vercesi,Claudia O. Rodrigues,Sérgio Akira Uyemura,Li Zhong,Silvia N.J. Moreno +5 more
TL;DR: Together these results provide the first direct biochemical evidence that the respiratory chain and oxidative phosphorylation are functional in apicomplexan parasites, although the terminal respiratory pathway is different from that in the mammalian host.
