Procyclic Trypanosoma brucei expresses separate sialidase and trans-sialidase enzymes on its surface membrane.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 10 Nov 2006

Montagna Georgina N, Donelson John E, Frasch Alberto C C

Abstract excerpt

The procyclic stage of Trypanosoma brucei in the insect vector expresses a surface-bound trans-sialidase (TbTS) that transfers sialic acid from glycoconjugates in the environment to glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins on its surface membrane. RNA interference against TbTS abolished tra...
