A rhomboid protease, EhROM1, regulates the submembrane distribution and size of the Gal/GalNAc lectin subunits in the human protozoan parasite, <i>Entamoeba histolytica</i>

2019-07-04

Abstract excerpt

Entamoeba histolytica is a food- and waterborne parasite that is the causative agent of amebic dysentery and amoebic liver abscesses. Adhesion is one of the most important virulence functions as it facilitates motility, colonization of host, destruction of host tissue, and uptake of nutrients by the parasite. One well-characterized parasite cell surface adhesin is the Gal/GalNAc lectin, which binds to galactose or...
