Evidence for a recent mutation giving rise to a truncated copy of a cysteine proteinase gene in Leishmania pifanoi.

Parasitology international - 1 Dec 2000

Boukai L K, McMahon-Pratt D, Traub-Cseko Y M

Abstract excerpt

We have previously identified and characterized two amastigote-specific cysteine proteinases of Leishmania pifanoi. The slightly different isoforms of the more abundant proteinase are coded by a gene family of approximately 20 gene copies, that contain a C-terminal extension characteristic of cys...
