Trypanosoma cruzi: inhibition of metacyclogenesis by mannose.

TLDR
There exists a proteinic factor in the intestine of the vector that promotes metacyclogenesis and is incorporated by the parasite and the possible binding of the differentiation factor to the parasite surface was inhibited.

In vitro effects of citral on Trypanosoma cruzi metacyclogenesis.

TL;DR: Citral appears to be a good candidate as an inhibitory drug for further studies analyzing the T. cruzi metacyclogenesis process.

Methionine depletion induces transcription of the mRNA (N6-adenosine)methyltransferase

TL;DR: The result indicates that the control of MT-A70 gene expression is directly related to methionine availability and the subsequent synthesis of S-adenosyl-L-methionine.

Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis: Concepts Emerging from the LDL Receptor System

TL;DR: This data indicates that intracellular routes in the response of the immune system to EMT are regulated by Tournaisian reprograming, a type of ‘spatially aggregating’ behaviour.

Lysosomal Enzymes and their Receptors

TL;DR: The Golgi is an ideal environment for the synthesis and modification of 6-Phosphate Residues and the role of these modifications in the development of LYSOSOMAL ENZYMES is under investigation.

Evidence for lysosomal enzyme recognition by human fibroblasts via a phosphorylated carbohydrate moiety.

TL;DR: Endocytosis of ;low-uptake' forms of alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase and alpha-mannosidase was likewise susceptible to inhibition by sugar phosphates and by alkaline phosphatase treatment, suggesting that low-uptak' forms are either contaminated with ;high-uptakes' forms or are internalized via the same route as ; high-uptaking' forms.

Lectin receptors as markers for Trypanosoma cruzi. Developmental stages and a study of the interaction of wheat germ agglutinin with sialic acid residues on epimastigote cells.

TL;DR: Trypanosoma cruzi at various stages of maturation and differentiation have been isolated by conventional cellular fractionation procedures and characterized by cell surface markers using 30 highly purified lectins encompassing all known sugar specificities.
