Acidocalcisomes are acidic organelles containing calcium and a high concentration of
phosphorus in the form of pyrophosphate (PPi) and polyphosphate (poly P). Organelles with …

Acidocalcisomes are acidic electron-dense organelles, rich in polyphosphate (poly P)
complexed with calcium and other cations. While its matrix contains enzymes related to poly …

Acidocalcisomes are acidic organelles present in a diverse range of organisms from
bacteria to human cells. In this study acidocalcisomes were purified from the model …

Acidocalcisomes are acidic organelles with a high concentration of phosphorus present as
pyrophosphate (PPi) and polyphosphate (poly P) complexed with calcium and other cations …

Cellular metabolism depends on the appropriate concentration of intracellular inorganic
phosphate (Pi). Pi starvation‐responsive genes appear to be involved in multiple metabolic …

While free-living protists are usually subjected to hyposmotic environments, parasitic protists
are also in contact with hyperosmotic habitats. Recent work in one of these parasites …

Acanthamoeba castellanii is a free-living amoeba and an opportunistic pathogen for
humans that can cause encephalitis and, more commonly, Acanthamoeba keratitis. During …

The ecto-phosphatases belong to a group of enzymes closely associated with the cell
surface that has its catalytic site facing the extracellular environment, where different …

The intestinal tract of triatomines is colonized not only by Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic
agent of Chagas disease, but also by the insect flagellate Blastocrithidia triatomae, the rat …

Abstract Background Trypanosoma conorhini and Trypanosoma rangeli, like Trypanosoma
cruzi, are kinetoplastid protist parasites of mammals displaying divergent hosts, geographic …
