The actomyosin system is essential for the integrity of the endosomal system in bloodstream form Trypanosoma brucei

F. Link, S. Jung, X. Malzer, F. Zierhut, A. Konle, A. Borges, C. Batters, M. Weiland, M. Poellmann, A. B. Nguyen, J. Kullmann, C. Veigel, M. Engstler, B. Morriswood

This study investigates the role of the actomyosin system in maintaining endosomal integrity in Trypanosoma brucei using imaging and biochemical assays.

Single-molecule fluorescence microscopy demonstrates fast dynamics of the variant surface glycoprotein coat on living trypanosomes

M. Schwebs, T. Paul, M. Glogger, L. Forster, B. Morriswood, J. Tessmar, J. Groll, M. Engstler, P. Kollmannsberger, S. Fenz

The paper uses single-molecule tracking to show that VSG coat dynamics on trypanosomes are primarily diffusive with a high diffusion coefficient, resolving how the parasite maintains its coat.

Characterisation of TbSmee1 indicates that endocytosis is required for access of surface-bound cargo to the trypanosome flagellar pocket

D. Schichler, E.-M. Spath, A. Konle, S. Riegler, A. Klein, A. Seleznev, S. Jung, T. Wuppermann, N. Wetterich, A. Borges, E. Meyer-Natus, K. Havlicek, S. P. Cabrera, K. Niedermueller, S. Sajko, , B. Morriswood

This study characterizes TbSmee1 in Trypanosoma brucei, showing that endocytosis is required for surface-bound cargo to access the flagellar pocket.

Unexpected plasticity in the life cycle of Trypanosoma brucei

S. Schuster, J. Lisack, I. Subota, H. Zimmermann, C. Reuter, B. Morriswood, M. Engstler, J. Lisack

This study shows that proliferating slender stage Trypanosoma brucei can infect tsetse flies as effectively as stumpy stages, challenging the traditional view of the parasite's life cycle.
