A Novel ARID/Bright-like Protein Involved in Transcriptional Activation of Cyst Wall Protein 1 Gene in Giardia lamblia

Abstract excerpt

The capability of protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia to encyst is critical for survival outside the host and its transmission. AT-rich interaction domain (ARID) or Bright homologs constitute a large family of transcription factors in higher eukaryotes that regulate cell proliferation, development, and differentiation. We asked whether Giardia has ARID-like genes and whether they influence gene expression during...
