Proteins interacting with Leishmania major PUF1: A proteomic dataset.

ABSTRACT: Leishmania parasites must deal with stressful environmental conditions (thermal, nutritional and oxidative) along their digenetic life cycles. This requires drastic changes in gene expression, which in this parasite occurs mainly through post-transcriptional mechanisms involving RNA binding proteins (RBPs). PUF proteins, a class of RBPs existing in most eukaryotic organisms, might play too an essential role modulating the fate of mRNAs and regulating gene expression in Leishmania parasites. A proteomic approach to identify putative protein partners (interactome) of the Leishmania major PUF1 protein was performed. The PUF1 interactome was characterized by co-immunoprecipitation using L. major cellular extracts and an anti-LiPUF1 antibody, and a subsequent analysi
