This study maps the luminal proteome of the ER and Golgi in T. brucei using TurboID proximity biotinylation, identifying TbMANF as a novel modulator of ER stress tolerance in African trypanosomes.

This study identifies ESAG3 as an O-glucosyltransferase that modifies VSG3 to alter antibody epitopes and influence infection outcomes in African trypanosomes.

The paper introduces a CRISPR/Cas9-based protein tagging system for Kinetoplastids that preserves endogenous regulatory elements and demonstrates its utility in studying gene regulation.

This paper creates double null mutants of TbGT8 and TbGT10 in Trypanosoma brucei, showing reduced pNAL synthesis but normal TfR function and parasite viability.
