The endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein complex localizes to the mitochondrial - endoplasmic reticulum interface and its subunits modulate phospholipid biosynthesis in Trypanosoma brucei

This study identifies the TbEMC complex in Trypanosoma brucei, showing it localizes to the mitochondrial-ER interface and modulates phospholipid biosynthesis.

Elimination of GPI2 suppresses glycosylphosphatidylinositol GlcNAc transferase activity and alters GPI glycan modification in Trypanosoma brucei

This study shows that eliminating GPI2 in Trypanosoma brucei reduces GPI GlcNAc transferase activity, alters GPI glycan modification, and affects social motility.

Depletion of cardiolipin induces major changes in energy metabolism in Trypanosoma brucei bloodstream forms

This study shows that depletion of cardiolipin in Trypanosoma brucei bloodstream forms disrupts mitochondrial function and energy metabolism, leading to reduced ATP levels and altered metabolic pathways.

Complexity of the eukaryotic dolichol-linked oligosaccharide scramblase suggested by activity correlation profiling mass spectrometry

This paper uses mass spectrometry-based activity correlation profiling to identify M5-DLO scramblase candidates in yeast but finds none are essential, suggesting regulation through quaternary structure.
