1.
Rohloff P, Rodrigues C, Docampo R
Mol Biochem Parasitol . 2003 Mar; 126(2):219-30. PMID: 12615321
A regulatory volume decrease (RVD) in response to hyposmotic stress has been characterized in different life-cycle stages of Trypanosoma cruzi. Hyposmotic stress initially caused swelling, but this was rapidly reversed...

Docampo R, Moreno S
Curr Drug Targets Infect Disord . 2002 Nov; 1(1):51-61. PMID: 12455233
Trypanosomatid and apicomplexan parasites remain an important health problem in developing countries. Advances are being made in parts of the world in blocking transmission from insect vectors, but more effective...

Rodrigues C, Catisti R, Uyemura S, Vercesi A, Lira R, Rodriguez C, et al.
J Eukaryot Microbiol . 2001 Oct; 48(5):588-94. PMID: 11596924
Respiration, oxidative phosphorylation. and the corresponding changes in membrane potential (deltapsi) of Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes grown either in liver infusion-tryptose (LIT) or brain heart infusion (BHI) culture medium were assayed...

Ruiz F, Marchesini N, Seufferheld M, Govindjee , Docampo R
J Biol Chem . 2001 Oct; 276(49):46196-203. PMID: 11579086
Acidocalcisomes are acidic calcium storage compartments described initially in trypanosomatid and apicomplexan parasites. In this work, we describe organelles with properties similar to acidocalcisomes in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii....

Docampo R
Curr Pharm Des . 2001 Jul; 7(12):1157-64. PMID: 11472259
Chagas disease remains an important health problem in the Americas. Advances are being made in parts of South America in blocking transmission from insect vectors or blood transfusion, but more...

Montalvetti A, Bailey B, Martin M, Severin G, Oldfield E, Docampo R
J Biol Chem . 2001 Jul; 276(36):33930-7. PMID: 11435429
We report the cloning and sequencing of a gene encoding the farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase of Trypanosoma cruzi. The protein (T. cruzi farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase, TcFPPS) is an attractive target for...

Moreno B, Bailey B, Luo S, Martin M, Kuhlenschmidt M, Moreno S, et al.
Biochem Biophys Res Commun . 2001 Jun; 284(3):632-7. PMID: 11396947
High-resolution 303.6 MHz (31)P NMR spectra have been obtained of perchloric acid extracts of Plasmodium berghei trophozoites, Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites, and Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts. Essentially complete resonance assignments have been...

Furuya T, Okura M, Ruiz F, Scott D, Docampo R
J Biol Chem . 2001 May; 276(35):32437-45. PMID: 11382780
Intracellular Ca(2+) in Trypanosoma cruzi is mainly located in an acidic compartment named the acidocalcisome, which among other pumps and exchangers possesses a plasma membrane-type Ca(2+)-ATPase. Evidence for an endoplasmic...

Docampo R, Moreno S
Mol Biochem Parasitol . 2001 May; 114(2):151-9. PMID: 11378195
The acidocalcisome is an electron-dense acidic organelle which contains a matrix of pyrophosphate and polyphosphates with bound calcium and other cations. Its limiting membrane possesses a number of pumps and...

Ruiz F, Rodrigues C, Docampo R
J Biol Chem . 2001 May; 276(28):26114-21. PMID: 11371561
Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) has been identified and measured in different stages of Trypanosoma cruzi. Millimolar levels (in terms of P(i) residues) in chains of less than 50 residues long, and...
