This paper identifies the trypanosomatid dynamin-like protein (DLP) as associating with glycosomes and shows its role in glycosome maintenance through knockdown and overexpression experiments.

This paper shows that mitochondrial shape in Toxoplasma gondii is critical for cofactor biosynthesis and egress signaling, with LMF1 and IMC10 mediating this function.

This study shows that extracellular glutamine is critical for cell division and flagellar function in Trypanosoma brucei bloodstream forms, with its absence leading to polyploid, multiflagellated cells and proteome glutamylation changes.

This study shows that knocking out histidine ammonia-lyase in Trypanosoma cruzi prevents histidine metabolism, affecting energy production and parasite life cycle.

This study identifies Myosin A and F-Actin as critical for mitochondrial dynamics and inheritance in Toxoplasma gondii through interactions with LMF1 and IMC10.
