Evolutionary Conservation and Diversification of the Translation Initiation Apparatus in Trypanosomatids
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Trypanosomatids are ancient eukaryotic parasites that migrate between insect vectors and mammalian hosts, causing a range of diseases in humans and domestic animals. Trypanosomatids feature a multitude of unusual molecular features, including polycistronic transcription and subsequent processing by trans-splicing and polyadenylation. Regulation of protein coding genes is posttranscriptional and thus, translation...
