Abstract excerpt
We investigated two putative gap genes encoding glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) in Giardia lamblia. While the expression of the gap2 gene was induced during encystation, gap1 was constitutively expressed. The induction of GAP2 protein during encystation was confirmed using GAP2-specific polyclonal antibodies. Complementation tests using a gap-deficient Escherichia coli showed that only the cell...
