Abstract excerpt
The Entamoeba histolytica mutant BG-3 has several altered cytoskeletal properties, including the distribution of actin and certain surface characteristics such as osmolarity and electrophoretic mobility. By Western blot analysis and assays for cell adhesion to collagen, we demonstrate that mutant BG-3 shows an increase in the phosphorylation levels of protein kinases that participate in proliferation, adhesion...
