Casein kinase 1.2 over expression restores stress resistance to Leishmania donovani HSP23 null mutants.

Abstract excerpt

Leishmania donovani is a trypanosomatidic parasite and causes the lethal kala-azar fever, a neglected tropical disease. The Trypanosomatida are devoid of transcriptional gene regulation and rely on gene copy number variations and translational control for their adaption to changing conditions. To survive at mammalian tissue temperatures, L. donovani relies on the small heat shock protein HSP23, the loss of which...
