TIGRFAMs: a protein family resource for the functional identification of proteins

Haft, Daniel H., Loftus, Brendan J., Richardson, Delwood L., Yang, Fan, Eisen, Jonathan A., Paulsen, Ian T., ...

TIGRFAMs is a collection of protein families featuring curated multiple sequence alignments, hidden Markov models and associated information designed to support the automated functional...

Evidence for Lateral Transfer of Genes Encoding Ferredoxins, Nitroreductases, NADH Oxidase, and Alcohol Dehydrogenase 3 from Anaerobic Prokaryotes to Giardia lamblia and Entamoeba histolytica

Nixon, Julie E. J., Wang, Amy, Field, Jessica, Morrison, Hilary G., McArthur, Andrew G., Sogin, Mitchell L., ...

Giardia lamblia and Entamoeba histolytica are amitochondriate, microaerophilic protists which use fermentation enzymes like those of bacteria to survive anaerobic conditions within the intestinal...

A spliceosomal intron in Giardia lamblia

Nixon, Julie E. J., Wang, Amy, Morrison, Hilary G., McArthur, Andrew G., Sogin, Mitchell L., Loftus, Brendan J., ...

Short introns occur in numerous protist lineages, but there are no reports of intervening sequences in the protists Giardia lamblia and Trichomonas vaginalis, which may represent the deepest known...

The Intestinal Protozoan Parasite Entamoeba histolytica Contains 20 Cysteine Protease Genes, of Which Only a Small Subset Is Expressed during In Vitro Cultivation

Bruchhaus, Iris, Loftus, Brendan J., Hall, Neil, Tannich, Egbert

Cysteine proteases are known to be important pathogenicity factors of the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica. So far, a total of eight genes coding for cysteine proteases have been identified...
