The review considers redox enzymes of Plasmodium spp., Trypanosomatida, Trichomonas,
Entamoeba and Giardia, with special emphasis on their potential use as targets for drug …

The “amitochondriate” protozoan parasites of humans Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia
intestinalis, and Trichomonas vaginalis share many biochemical features, eg, energy and …

The intestinal parasite Entamoeba histolytica is one of the first protists for which a draft
genome sequence has been published. Although the genome is still incomplete, it is …

Hydrogenosomes and mitosomes are mitochondrion-related organelles in anaerobic/
microaerophilic eukaryotes with highly reduced and divergent functions. The full diversity of …

Vesicular trafficking plays an important role in a virulence mechanism of the enteric
protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica as secreted and lysosomal cysteine protease (CP) …

To better understand the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids, which likely plays a
key role in a variety of cell functions, in Entamoeba histolytica, we searched the genome …

In mammals, Rab5 and Rab7 play a specific and coordinated role in a sequential process
during phagosome maturation. Here, we report that Rab5 and Rab7 in the enteric protozoan …

Significance: Parasitic infections continue to be a major problem for global human health.
Vaccines are practically not available and chemotherapy is highly unsatisfactory. One …

Sulfur-containing amino acids play an important role in a variety of cellular functions such as
protein synthesis, methylation, and polyamine and glutathione synthesis. We cloned and …

Sulfur-containing amino acids play indispensable roles in a wide variety of biological
