Abstract excerpt

A transferrin-binding protein (TFBP) with an apparent molecular weight of 42 kd was purified from detergent-soluble membrane proteins of bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma brucei. The protein is not expressed in the insect-borne stage of the parasite's life-cycle. Purified TFBP can be converted from an amphiphilic to a hydrophilic form by cleavage with T.brucei glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-specific...
