Abstract excerpt
Protein translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum is mediated by the signal recognition particle (SRP). In this study, the SRP pathway in trypanosomatids was down-regulated by two approaches: RNA interference (RNAi) silencing of genes encoding SRP proteins in Trypanosoma brucei and overexpression of dominant-negative mutants of 7SL RNA in Leptomonas collosoma. The biogenesis of both signal peptide-containing...
