The study of the Schistosoma mansoni genome, one of the etiologic agents of human schistosomiasis, is essential for a better understanding of the biology and development of this parasite. In order...
Cloning and Molecular Characterization of the Schistosoma mansoni Genes RbAp48 and Histone H4 (2002)
Patrícia P Souza, Débora N Santos, Glória R Franco
The human nuclear protein RbAp48 is a member of the tryptophan/aspartate (WD) repeat family, which binds to the retinoblastoma (Rb) protein. It also corresponds to the smallest subunit of the...
