Patterns of gene recombination shape vargene repertoires in Plasmodium falciparum:comparisons of geographically diverse isolates (2007)

Kraemer, Susan M, Kyes, Sue A, Aggarwal, Gautam, Springer, Amy L, Nelson, Siri O, Christodoulou, Zoe, ...

Abstract Background Var genes encode a family of virulence factors known as PfEMP1 ( Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1) which are responsible for both antigenic variation and...

Glyoxalase I from Leishmania donovani: A potential target for anti-parasite drug (2005)

Padmanabhan, Prasad K, Mukherjee, Angana, Singh, Sushma, Chattopadhyaya, Swati, Gowri, Venkataraman S, Myler, Peter J, ...

Glyoxalases are involved in a ubiquitous detoxification pathway. In pursuit of a better understanding of the biological function of the enzyme. the recombinant glyoxalase I (LdGLOI) protein has been...

Importing statistical measures into Artemis enhances gene identification in the Leishmaniagenome project (2003)

Aggarwal, Gautam, Worthey, EA, McDonagh, Paul D, Myler, Peter J

Abstract Background Seattle Biomedical Research Institute (SBRI) as part of the Leishmania Genome Network (LGN) is sequencing chromosomes of the trypanosomatid protozoan species Leishmania major . At...

Leishmania major Friedlin chromosome 1 has an unusual distribution of protein-coding genes

Myler, Peter J., Audleman, Lindsey, DeVos, Theo, Hixson, Greg, Kiser, Patti, Lemley, Craig, ...

Leishmania are evolutionarily ancient protozoans (Kinetoplastidae) and important human pathogens that cause a spectrum of diseases ranging from the asymptomatic to the lethal. The Leishmania genome...

The unusual gene organization of Leishmania major chromosome 1 may reflect novel transcription processes

McDonagh, Paul D., Myler, Peter J., Stuart, Kenneth

The complete chromosomal sequence for chromosome 1 from Leishmania major Friedlin predicts that this chromosome has 79 protein-coding genes. Surprisingly, the first 29 of these genes are encoded in...

Association of Guide RNA Binding Protein gBP21 with Active RNA Editing Complexes in Trypanosoma brucei

Allen, Thomas E., Heidmann, Stefan, Reed, RoseMary, Myler, Peter J., Göringer, H. Ulrich, Stuart, Kenneth D.

RNA editing in Trypanosoma brucei mitochondria produces mature mRNAs by a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions that specifically insert or delete uridylates in association with a macromolecular...

Leishmania major chromosome 3 contains two long convergent polycistronic gene clusters separated by a tRNA gene

Worthey, E. A., Martinez-Calvillo, Santiago, Schnaufer, Achim, Aggarwal, Gautam, Cawthra, Jason, Fazelinia, Gholam, ...

Leishmania parasites (order Kinetoplastida, family Trypanosomatidae) cause a spectrum of human diseases ranging from asymptomatic to lethal. The ∼33.6 Mb genome is distributed among 36 chromosome...

Transcription Initiation and Termination on Leishmania major Chromosome 3

Martínez-Calvillo, Santiago, Nguyen, Dan, Stuart, Kenneth, Myler, Peter J.

Genome projects involving Leishmania and other trypanosomatids have revealed that most genes in these organisms are organized into large clusters of genes on the same DNA strand. We have previously...

New Trypanosoma cruzi Repeated Element That Shows Site Specificity for Insertion▿

Souza, Renata T., Santos, Márcia R. M., Lima, Fábio M., El-Sayed, Najib M., Myler, Peter J., Ruiz, Jeronimo C., ...

A new family of site-specific repeated elements identified in Trypanosoma cruzi, which we named TcTREZO, is described here. TcTREZO appears to be a composite repeated element, since three subregions...

Structure of Lmaj006129AAA, a hypothetical protein from Leishmania major

Arakaki, Tracy, Le Trong, Isolde, Phizicky, Eric, Quartley, Erin, DeTitta, George, Luft, Joseph, ...

The crystal structure of a conserved hypothetical protein from L. major, Pfam sequence family PF04543, structural genomics target ID Lmaj006129AAA, has been determined at a resolution of 1.6 Å.

Crystal structures and proposed structural/functional classification of three protozoan proteins from the isochorismatase superfamily
