Abstract excerpt
P2 beta acidic ribosomal protein is a relevant antigen in Chagas' disease. cDNA cloning demonstrated that Trypanosoma cruzi expresses at least six types of TcP2 beta transcripts that differed by point nucleotides substitutions. The distribution and type of mutations seemed to follow the typical structural organization of eukaryotic acidic ribosomal proteins. Most of the synonymous changes clustered in the...
