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

This study confirms that the circumsporozoite protein (CSP) of Plasmodium sporozoites is GPI-anchored using metabolic labeling and mass spectrometry.

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

The paper identifies 995 genes with shared genetic links to age-related diseases using GWAS data and presents them in a web tool for drug target prioritization.

This study shows TbFUT1 is essential for mitochondrial FoF1-ATP synthase assembly in Trypanosoma brucei by affecting subunit levels and kDNA replication.
