During the Trypanosoma cruzi adhesion to the host extracellular matrix, protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of cytoskeletal protein is critical for the adhesion response. In addition to the constituents of the cytoskeleton proteins reported (tubulin and paraflagellar rod proteins), heat shock proteins and ERK 1/2 protein (modified in response to elements of the extracellular matrix:…
