Proteolytic Processing of the Unique F1-ATPase Subunit α in Procyclic Trypanosoma brucei

Jain Minal, Brian Panicucci, Karolína Šubrtová, Achim C. Schnaufer, Alena Zı́ková

The paper identifies proteolytic processing of the F1-ATPase subunit α in Trypanosoma brucei, showing that cleavage occurs in the cytosol before mitochondrial import.

Reversal of ATP synthase is a key attribute for cellular differentiation of the Trypanosoma brucei insect forms

Michaela Kunzová, Eva Doleželová, Martin Moos, Brian Panicucci, Alena Zı́ková

This study shows that ATP synthase reversal, regulated by TbIF1, is essential for Trypanosoma brucei differentiation between insect and mammalian hosts.

An ancestral interaction module promotes oligomerisation in divergent mitochondrial ATP synthases

Ondřej Gahura, Alexander Mühleip, Carolina Hierro-Yap, Brian Panicucci, Minal S. Jain, David Hollaus, Martina Slapničková, Alena Zı́ková, Alexey Amunts

The paper reports cryo-EM structures of the ATP synthase dimer from Trypanosoma brucei, identifying an ancestral subunit-g/e module critical for oligomerization.
