Overexpression of cruzipain, the major cysteine proteinase of Trypanosoma cruzi, is associated with enhanced metacyclogenesis.

European journal of biochemistry - 1 Mar 1997

Tomas A M, Miles M A, Kelly J M

Abstract excerpt

Cruzipain, the major cysteine proteinase of Trypanosoma cruzi has been proposed as a target for chemotherapy against Chagas' disease. To investigate the role of cruzipain we transfected T. cruzi epimastigotes with a recombinant cosmid containing approximately 20 tandemly repeated cruzipain genes....
