In trypanosomes, it is general accepted that gene expression is mainly regulated by post transcriptional mechanisms due to the lack of classical RNA Pol II promoters regions and policistronic transcription. However, previous low-scale run-on experiments indicate that satellites genes have lower expression, and a significant decrease in global transcription is observed when replicative for…
It has been the interest of many research groups to study the processes of translation of the genetic code into proteins that involve the synthesis of the amino acids Pirrolisin and Selenocysteine. Knowing that selenocysteine represents the major biological form of selenium, which is an essential micronutrient, and has specific synthesis pathways for bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes, stud…
This proposal is designed to address nuclear three-dimensional features of two life forms of the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, and to investigate its probable impacts on different aspects of T. cruzi biology. Gene expression in trypanosomes is broadly determined by post-transcriptional mechanisms, however, a significant decrease in global transcription has been observed if comparing their l…
