Trypanosoma cruzi, a protozoan parasite that causes Chagas disease, exhibits unique
mechanisms for gene expression such as constitutive polycistronic transcription of protein …

By using improved pulsed field gel electrophoresis conditions, the molecular karyotype of
the reference clone CL Brener selected for Trypanosoma cruzi genome project was …

Acetylation of lysine is a major posttranslational modification of proteins and is catalyzed by
lysine acetyltransferases, while lysine deacetylases remove acetyl groups. Among the …

The operation of an in vitro cycle of cell differentiation of Trypanosoma cruzi in axenic culture
was obtained. When epimastigote forms, grown in LIT medium, were transferred to a …

The activities of the mitochondria! enzymes citrate synthase (citrate oxaloacetatelyase, EC
4.1. 3.7), NADP-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase (threo-d s-isocitrate: NADP+ …

Changes in tubulin expression are among the biochemical and morphological adaptations
that occur during the life cycle of Trypanosomatids. To investigate the mechanism …

A genomic DNA library was generated with Sau3A cut DNA derived from promastigotes of
Leishmania mexicana amazonensis and the lambda vector EMBL3. The library was …

α-and β-Tubulin mRNAs are three to six-fold more abundant in the epimastigote forms than
in trypomastigote and amastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi. It has been previously shown …

Protozoan parasites are responsible of important healthy problems, among others malaria,
leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasis. The present work reports the characterization of the first …

The level of HSP 70 mRNA is altered in Trypanosoma cruzi cells incubated at supra‐optimal
temperatures: the total amount of this RNA per cell is increased at 37° C, and slightly …
