Abstract:Giardia intestinalis is a protozoan parasite that colonizes the upper part of the small intestine of its mammalian hosts. The trophozoite, which is the replicative stage, has a complex cytoskeleton that allows it to move and adhere to intestinal cells. It has been proposed that protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) participates in the regulation of changes to the parasite cytoskeleton during its life cycle. However, how PP2A is involved in this regulation remains unclear since its substrates and regulators have not be… Show more
