Horizontal gene transfer of a functional cki homolog in the human pathogen Schistosoma mansoni

2024-05-27

Abstract excerpt

Schistosomes are parasitic flatworms responsible for the neglected tropical disease schistosomiasis, causing devastating morbidity and mortality in the developing world. The parasites are protected by a skin-like tegument, and maintenance of this tegument is controlled by a schistosome ortholog of the tumor suppressor TP53. To understand mechanistically how p53-1 controls tegument production, we identified a cycli...
