. 2024 Dec;
16(2):e0350124.
PMID: 39679680
Importance: African trypanosomes are eukaryotic pathogens that cause human and veterinary African trypanosomaisis. Uniquely, they synthesize all three major phosphosphingolipid species using four distinct sphingolipid synthases (SLS). This work details...

PMID: 39461507
Phosphosphingolipids (PSL) are essential components of eukaryotic membranes. The major PSL in fungi and protists is inositol phosphorylceramide (IPC), while sphingomyelin (SM), and to a lesser extent ethanolamine phosphorylceramide (EPC)...

PMID: 35727050
A hallmark of eukaryotic cells is the ability to form a secretory pathway connecting many intracellular compartments. In the early secretory pathway, coated protein complex II (COPII)-coated vesicles mediate the...

PMID: 35727016
African trypanosomes evade the immune system of the mammalian host by the antigenic variation of the predominant glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored surface protein, variant surface glycoprotein (VSG). VSG is a very stable...

PMID: 34363902
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-phospholipase C (GPI-PLC) is an enzyme that has been implicated in GPI-dependent protein trafficking and phosphoinositide metabolism in the bloodstream stage of African trypanosomes. However, despite the fact that it...

mBio
. 2021 Jul;
12(4):e0172521.
PMID: 34311578
African trypanosomes utilize glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) to evade the host immune system. VSG turnover is thought to be mediated via cleavage of the GPI anchor by endogenous...

. 2021 Jun;
22(8):274-283.
PMID: 34101314
African trypanosomes cause disease in humans and livestock, avoiding host immunity by changing the expression of variant surface glycoproteins (VSGs); the major glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored antigens coating the surface of...

PMID: 33070788
p67 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein of the terminal lysosome of African trypanosomes. Its biosynthesis involves transport of an initial gp100 ER precursor to the lysosome, followed by cleavage...

PMID: 32735998
Misfolded proteins trapped in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are specifically recognized and retrotranslocated to the cytosol by the ER-Associated Degradation (ERAD) system and delivered to the proteasome for destruction. This...

PMID: 32618070
The Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport machinery consists of four protein complexes (ESCRT 0-IV) and the post ESCRT ATPase Vps4. ESCRT mediates cargo delivery for lysosomal degradation via formation...
