Transcriptional gene silencing reveals two distinct groups of Entamoeba histolytica Gal/GalNAc-lectin light subunits.

Eukaryotic cell - 1 Oct 2007

Bracha Rivka, Nuchamowitz Yael, Wender Nomy, Mirelman David

Abstract excerpt

The Entamoeba histolytica cell surface Gal/GalNAc-inhibitable lectin is a heterodimer between a heavy (170 kDa) subunit linked via a disulfide bond to a light (31 to 35 kDa) subunit. Five light subunit genes with high homology have been identified (Ehlgl1 to -5). We have previously shown that silencing of the expression of Ehlgl1, in the G3 trophozoites which had already been silenced in the amoebapore gene...
