A Carbohydrate Moiety of Secreted Stage-Specific Glycoprotein 4 Participates in Host Cell Invasion by Trypanosoma cruzi Extracellular Amastigotes

Florentino, Pilar T. V.; Real, Fernando; Orikaza, Cristina Mary [UNIFESP]; Cunha, Julia P. C. da; Vitorino, Francisca N. L.; Cordero, Esteban M.; Sobreira, Tiago J. P.; Mortara, Renato Arruda [UNIFESP] (Frontiers Media Sa, 2018)

Trypanosoma cruzi is the etiologic agent of Chagas' disease. It is known that amastigotes derived from trypomastigotes in the extracellular milieu are infective in vitro and in vivo. Extracellular amastigotes (EAs) have a ...
Rac1/WAVE2 and Cdc42/N-WASP Participation in Actin-Dependent Host Cell Invasion by Extracellular Amastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi

Bonfim-Melo, Alexis [UNIFESP]; Ferreira, Eden R. [UNIFESP]; Mortara, Renato A. [UNIFESP] (Frontiers Media Sa, 2018)

This study evaluated the participation of host cell Rho-family GTPases and their effector proteins in the actin-dependent invasion by Trypanosoma cruzi extracellular amastigotes (EAs). We observed that all proteins were ...
