Diversity in repeat-containing surface proteins of Leishmania major.

Molecular and biochemical parasitology - 1 Jun 1997

McKean P G, Trenholme K R, Rangarajan D, Keen J K, Smith D F

Abstract excerpt

The gene B protein (GBP) is one of the products of the LmcDNA16 gene family, a cluster of related but non-identical genes that are differentially-expressed during the Leishmania life cycle. This protein, which is found on the surface of infective stage parasites, contains an extensive region of proline-rich amino acid repeats, constituting 45% of the total protein. The structure and stability of these repeats...
