Unusual actin-binding mechanism and the role of profilin in actin dynamics of trypanosomatid parasites

2023-01-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Diseases caused by Leishmania , and Trypanosoma parasites, such as leishmaniasis and African sleeping sickness, are a major health problem in tropical countries. Due to their complex life cycle involving both vertebrate and insect hosts, and > 1 billion years of evolutionarily distance, the cell biology of these trypanosomatid parasites exhibits pronounced differences to animal cells. For exam...
