VARIABLE SURFACE GLYCOPROTEIN FROM TRYPANOSOMA BRUCEI UNDERGOES CLEAVAGE BY MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASES: AN IN SILICO APPROACH

Variable Surface Glycoprotein from Trypanosoma brucei Undergoes Cleavage by Matrix Metalloproteinases: An in silico Approach

In order to survive as extracellular parasites in the mammalian host environment, Trypanosoma brucei has developed efficient mechanisms of immune system evasion, which include the abundant expression of a variable surface glycoprotein (VSG) coat.VSGs are anchored in the parasite membrane by covalent C-terminal binding to glycosylphosphatidylinosito
