Abstract excerpt
The Trypanosoma brucei cytochrome c oxidase (respiratory complex IV) is a very divergent complex containing a surprisingly high number of trypanosomatid-specific subunits with unknown function. To gain insight into the functional organization of this large protein complex, the expression of three novel subunits (TbCOX VII, TbCOX X and TbCOX 6080) were down-regulated by RNA interference. We demonstrate that all...
