Abstract excerpt
GPEET procyclin is a major glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein of procyclic (insect stage) trypanosomes in culture and is heavily phosphorylated in the GPEET pentapeptide repeat. The phosphorylation reaction is a late event and occurs during maturation and transport of GPEET or on the parasite surface by an ecto-protein kinase. Initial biochemical characterization of the GPEET kinase activity now shows...
