High-resolution scRNA-seq reveals genomic determinants of antigen expression hierarchy in African Trypanosomes

K. R. McWilliam, Z. Keneskhanova, R. O. Cosentino, A. Dobrynin, J. E. Smith, I. Subota, M. R. Mugnier, M. Colome-Tatche, T. N. Siegel

This study uses high-resolution scRNA-seq to uncover how genomic rearrangements during antigen switching in Trypanosoma brucei depend on repair mechanisms and homologous templates.

DNA damage drives antigen diversification through mosaic VSG formation in Trypanosoma brucei

J. E. Smith, K. J. Wang, E. M. Kennedy, J. M. Hakim, J. So, A. K. Beaver, A. Magesh, S. D. Gilligan-Steinberg, J. Zheng, B. Zhang, D. N. Moorthy, E. H. Akin, L. Mwakibete, M. R. Mugnier

The paper demonstrates that DNA damage induces VSG recombination in T. brucei, leading to antigenic variation and immune evasion.

Extravascular spaces are the primary reservoir of antigenic diversity in Trypanosoma brucei infection

A. Beaver, Z. Keneskhanova, R. O. Cosentino, B. L. Weiss, E. O. Awuoche, G. M. Smallenberger, G. Y. Buenconsejo, N. P. Crilly, J. E. Smith, J. M. Hakim, B. Zhang, B. Bobb, F. Rijo-Ferreira, L. M. Figueiredo, S. Aksoy, , M. R. Mugnier

The paper shows that extravascular spaces, not the bloodstream, are the main source of antigenic diversity in Trypanosoma brucei infections, with over 75% of VSGs found exclusively in these spaces.
