Abstract

Protein glycosylation is a co- and post-translational modification that, inLeishmaniaparasites, plays key roles in vector-parasite-vertebrate host interaction. In the mammalian host,Leishmaniaprotein glycosylation is involved in virulence, host cell invasion, and immune evasion and modulation. TheLeishmaniaglycocalyx is composed by a dense array of glycoconjugates including lipophosphoglycan, glycoinositolphospholipids, glycoproteins and proteophosphoglycans which varies in composition betweenLeishmaniaspecies and developmental stages. The current knowledge onLeishmaniaprotein glycosylation is quite limited. The development of novel analytical tools to characterize theLeishmaniaglycoproteome and the expanding toolbox to modulate the parasite glycocode will help in deciphering the processes involved inLeishmania-host interaction. This review will recapitulate the current knowledge ofLeishmaniaprotein glycosylation, and glycan structures reported, and the potential application of mass spectrometry-based analysis for system-wideLeishmaniaglycoproteome and glycome analysis.
