Journal ArticleDOI

Role of ABC transporter MRPA, γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase and ornithine decarboxylase in natural antimony-resistant isolates of Leishmania donovani

TL;DR: A variety of resistance mechanisms to SAG, most of them consistent with a model based on the study of resistance in vitro, were present in clinical isolates from the same geographical region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcriptome Remodeling in Trypanosoma cruzi and Human Cells during Intracellular Infection

TL;DR: The findings suggest that transcriptome remodeling is required to establish a modified template to guide developmental transitions in the parasite, whereas homeostatic functions are regulated independently of transcriptomic changes, similar to that reported in related trypanosomatids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Roles for mitochondria in pentamidine susceptibility and resistance in Leishmania donovani.

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that wild-type cells, but not resistant cells, could continue to accumulate pentamidine after apparent saturation via the measured transporter had been reached, and resistance topentamidine in L. donovani is associated with alterations to the mitochondria of the parasites, which lead to reduced accumulation of drug.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glyoxalase I from Leishmania donovani: a potential target for anti-parasite drug.

TL;DR: Comparative modelling of the 3-D structure of LDGLOI shows that substrate-binding region of the model involves important differences compared to the homologue, such as E. coli, specific to glutathione.
