A core UPS molecular complement implicates unique endocytic compartments at the parasite-host interface in Giardia lamblia

E. A. Balmer, C. D. Wirdnam, C. Faso

This study identifies a core UPS molecular machinery at PV/PECs in Giardia lamblia, linking these endocytic compartments to unconventional protein secretion and virulence.

Combined nanometric and phylogenetic analysis of unique endocytic compartments in Giardia lamblia sheds light on the evolution of endocytosis in Fornicata

R. Santos, A. Astvaldsson, S. V. Pipaliya, J. P. Zumthor, J. B. Dacks, S. Svard, A. B. Hehl, C. Faso

The paper characterizes endocytic compartments in Giardia lamblia using microscopy and phylogenetic analysis, revealing loss of clathrin light chain and emergence of a CLC analog in the Fornicata lineage.
