The Entamoeba histolytica genome: primary structure and expression of proteolytic enzymes

14 Jun 2007

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A number of studies have shown that peptidases and in particular cysteine peptidases constitute major pathogenicity factors in Entamoeba histolytica. Recent studies have suggested that a considerable number of genes coding for proteolytic enzymes are present within the E. histolytica genome and questions remain about the mode of expression of the various molecules. RESULTS: By homology search within...
