SUMOylation is a post-translational modification of proteins characterized by the addition of an ubiquitin-like protein in lysine residues of the substrate. In this study, SUMOylation pathway in Giardia lamblia, a protozoan parasite which colonizes mammals small intestines, will be studied. Cellular biology aspects of the parasite, of its life cycle and its interaction with its host will …
The giardiasis, caused by the protozoa Giardia Lamblia, is one of the intestinal disease with the major incidence in the world. The parasite colonizes the small intestine of mamalian and the infection is caracterized by diarrhea. The interaction trophozoite-cell changes both the morfology and the function of the tissue. The tight junctions of the epithelial cells are broken during the inf…
