Journal ArticleDOI

The genome of the kinetoplastid parasite, Leishmania major.

Alasdair Ivens, +103 more
- 15 Jul 2005 - 
TL;DR: The organization of protein-coding genes into long, strand-specific, polycistronic clusters and lack of general transcription factors in the L. major, Trypanosoma brucei, and Tritryp genomes suggest that the mechanisms regulating RNA polymerase II–directed transcription are distinct from those operating in other eukaryotes, although the trypanosomatids appear capable of chromatin remodeling.
Journal ArticleDOI

RNA-Binding Domain Proteins in Kinetoplastids: a Comparative Analysis

TL;DR: Just 3 RRM proteins which appear to be conserved at the primary sequence level throughout eukaryotic evolution are revealed: poly(A) binding protein, the rRNA-processing protein MRD1, and the nuclear cap binding protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recruitment of mRNAs to cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granules in trypanosomes

TL;DR: It is suggested that trypanosomes make use of mRNA granules for transient transcript protection as a strategy to cope with periods of starvation that they have to face during their complex life cycles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene expression regulation in trypanosomatids.

TL;DR: In the present chapter, particular characteristics of gene expression in the so-called TriTryp parasites are focused on: Trypanosoma cruzi, Trypenosoma brucei and Leishmania major.
Journal ArticleDOI

RNA-binding proteins and mRNA turnover in trypanosomes.

TL;DR: Along with the detection of an active exosome, decapping activities and a regulated 3' to 5' exonuclease activity stimulated by AREs, these results suggest that modulation of mRNA stability is essential in trypanosomes.
