Abstract excerpt
Several genes encode members of the Trypanosoma cruzi (Tc) trans-sialidase (TS) family. These proteins contain an enzymatic domain on the N terminus, the only one required for TS activity, and an antigenic domain (SAPA (shed acute phase antigen) amino acid (aa) repeats) on the C terminus. Only some members of this glycoprotein family are enzymatically active. The complete sequence of two clones encoding the...
