Alba family proteins are small, basic, dimeric nucleic acid-binding proteins, which are widely
distributed in archaea and a number of eukaryotes. This family of proteins bears the distinct …

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have important functions in the regulation of gene expression.
RBPs play key roles in post-transcriptional processes in all eukaryotes, such as splicing …

Background Due to the absence of transcription initiation regulation of protein coding genes
transcribed by RNA polymerase II, posttranscriptional regulation is responsible for the …

Trypanosomes regulate gene expression mainly by using posttranscriptional mechanisms.
Key factors responsible for carrying out this regulation are RNA-binding proteins, affecting …

Trypanosoma cruzi, a protozoan parasite that causes Chagas disease, exhibits unique
mechanisms for gene expression such as constitutive polycistronic transcription of protein …

In 2005, draft sequences of the genomes of Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma cruzi and
Leishmania major, also known as the Tri-Tryp genomes, were published. These protozoan …

Chagas' disease is a potentially life-threatening illness caused by the unicellular protozoan
parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. It is transmitted to humans by triatomine bugs where T. cruzi …

In trypanosomatids, transcription is polycistronic and all mRNAs are processed by trans-
splicing, with export mediated by noncanonical mechanisms. Although mRNA export is …

Alba-domain proteins are RNA-binding proteins found in archaea and eukaryotes and
recently studied in protozoan parasites where they play a role in the regulation of virulence …

In trypanosomatids, the regulation of gene expression occurs mainly at the post‐
transcriptional level. Previous studies have revealed nontranslated mRNA in the …
