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...
We affinity-purified VEX1GFP-associated proteins using cryomilling and high-affinity nanobodies. The procedure was carried out initially in insect-stage T. brucei, for which protocols were established, and then in bloodstream-form T. brucei. Quantitative proteomic analysis revealed tag-dependent enr...
