Here, we have started to characterise the surface molecules of T. theileri at the biochemical level. We have applied the same differential solvent extraction and hydrophobic interaction chromatography protocols, developed by Almeida and colleagues [13,14] to those used to isolate the GPI-mucin and G...

We performed glycoproteomics on endogenous parasite glycoproteins using sequential endoglycosidase-H and peptide-N-glycosidase-F digestions, the latter in the presence of H2[18O]. This allowed us to assess the relative occupancies of native N-glycosylation sites by endoglycosidase-H resistant N-glyc...

Bloodstream-form African trypanosomes display mono-telomeric expression of a Variant Surface Glycoprotein (VSG) gene in an inter-chromosomally bridged transcription and splicing compartment, such that the dominant gene produces 10,000 times more transcript than excluded VSG genes. Antigenic variatio...

The first step of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor biosynthesis in all eukaryotes is the addition of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) to phosphatidylinositol (PI) which is catalysed by a UDP-GlcNAc : PI α1-6 GlcNAc-transferase. This enzyme has been shown to be a complex of at least seven subuni...

Transcription of protein coding genes in trypanosomatids is atypical and almost exclusively polycistronic. In Trypanosoma brucei, approximately 150 polycistrons, and 8000 genes, are constitutively transcribed by RNA polymerase II, while a smaller subset can be transcribed by RNA polymerase I. RNA po...

The kinetoplast is the large mitochondrial genome present in the eponymous Kinetoplastida. African trypanosomes can lose their kinetoplast DNA (kDNA), however, when the nuclear-encoded gamma subunit of the mitochondrial ATP-synthase (g-ATPase) is mutated. These mutations are also associated with mul...

UPF1-like helicases play roles in telomeric heterochromatin formation and X-chromosome inactivation and we focus here on variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) exclusion-factor-2 (VEX2), a UPF1-related protein in the African trypanosome. This bloodstream parasite evades host immunity by employing monoge...

Variant Surface Glycoproteins (VSG) coat parasitic African trypanosomes and underpin antigenic variation and immune evasion. This VSG is a super-abundant virulence factor that is subject to post-transcriptional gene expression controls mediated via the VSG 3’-untranslated region (3’-UTR). To identif...
