A detailed dissection of the expression, localization, structure, and diagnostic potential of cyst wall proteins of the eye pathogen <i>Acanthamoeba</i>

2024-02-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The cyst wall of the eye pathogen Acanthamoeba castellanii contains cellulose and chitin and has ectocyst and endocyst layers connected by conical ostioles. Previously, we used mass spectrometry of purified walls to identify an abundant laccase and three families of lectins (Jonah, Luke, and Leo). Here we show that frameshifts in the protein prediction in AmoebaDB, which incorrectly add 12 tran...
