RNA Interference Identifies Two Hydroperoxide Metabolizing Enzymes That Are Essential to the Bloodstream Form of the African Trypanosome
1 Aug 2003
Abstract excerpt
Detoxification of hydroperoxides in trypanosomes is mediated by a series of linked redox pathways that are dependent on the parasite-specific thiol trypanothione for reducing equivalents. These pathways are characterized by differences in subcellular location, electron transport molecules, and substrate specificity. To determine the functional significance of the enzymes involved, we have used a...
