Developmental Progression to Infectivity in <i>Trypanosoma brucei</i> Triggered by an RNA-Binding Protein
6 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
Unraveling the intricate interactions between Trypanosoma brucei, the protozoan parasite causing African trypanosomiasis, and the tsetse (Glossina) vector remains a challenge. Metacyclic trypanosomes, which inhabit the tsetse salivary glands, transmit the disease and are produced through a complex differentiation and unknown program. By overexpressing a single RNA-binding protein, TbRBP6, in cultured...
