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

Multiple mitochondrial DNA polymerases in Trypanosoma brucei.

TL;DR: Kinetoplast DNA (kDNA), the unusual mitochondrial DNA of Trypanosoma brucei, is a network containing thousands of catenated circles, and database searching for a kDNA replicative polymerase revealed no mitochondrial pol gamma homolog, but four proteins related to bacterial pol I were identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trypanosoma brucei Has Two Distinct Mitochondrial DNA Polymerase β Enzymes

TL;DR: Green fluorescent protein fusion proteins and immunofluorescence demonstrate that both are mitochondrial, but their locations with respect to the mitochondrial DNA (kinetoplast DNA network) in this organism are strikingly different.
Journal ArticleDOI

Replication of kinetoplast DNA: an update for the new millennium.

TL;DR: This review will describe the replication of kinetoplast DNA, a subject that the lab has studied for many years and the properties of the characterised kinetOPlast DNA replication proteins and the current model for kinetic replication are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trypanosoma brucei Orc1 is essential for nuclear DNA replication and affects both VSG silencing and VSG switching

TL;DR: It is shown that TbOrc1 is essential for nuclear DNA replication in mammalian‐infectious bloodstream and tsetse procyclic forms (BF and PF) and is also required to control telomere‐linked VSG expression and VSG switching.
