The Gp85 Surface Glycoproteins from Trypanosoma cruzi

Abstract: Trypanosoma cruzi strains show distinctive characteristics as genetic polymorphism and infectivity. Large repertoires of molecules, such as the Gp85 glycoproteins, members of the Gp85/Trans-sialidase superfamily, as well as multiple signaling pathways, are associated with invasion of mammalian cells by the parasite. Due to the large number of expressed members, encoded by more than 700 genes, the research focused on this superfamily conserved sequences is discussed. Binding sites to laminin have been identifie… Show more

“…The trypomastigote coat is apparently formed by two juxtaposed layers of heavily O -glycosylated mucins and, underneath, glycoinositolphospholipids ( GIPLs) [911], with other less prevalent glycoproteins such as trans -sialidase (TS) [12], mucin-associated surface proteins (MASPs) [13], Gp85 surface glycoproteins [14], trypomastigote small surface antigen (TSSA) [15] and Tol-T antigens [16] speckled on this coat. All of these, except for the GIPLs, are encoded by highly polymorphic and developmentally-regulated gene families [17] bearing a similar predicted architecture, in which the outermost N- terminal adhesive domain likely protrudes from the ~15nm thick, mucin O -glycan canopy.…”

“…Esta abordagem revelou-se bem-sucedida e levou à identificação do peptídeo TS9, um novo motivo envolvido na adesão e invasão de células pelo parasita. Vale ressaltar o fato de que a identificação do peptídeo TS9 confirma ainda resultados anteriores do nosso grupo e reforça o conhecimento de que as citoqueratinas são importantes ligantes para a adesão e invasão do T. cruzi (MAGDESIAN et al, 2001;MATTOS et al, 2014;TONELLI et al, 2010). Também destaca a importância na biologia parasitária do domínio LamG presente nas proteínas da família das gp85/trans-sialidases.…”

“…Esta molécula foi inicialmente identificada como uma proteína de superfície de 85 kDa expressa seletivamente pelas formas infecciosas do parasita e denominada Tc-85 (ABUIN et al, 1989;ALVES et al, 1986). Hoje sabemos que pertence a uma grande família de proteínas codificadas por múltiplos genes, coletivamente conhecidos como gp85/trans-sialidase (gp85/TS) multigene família (COLLI, 1993;CROSS;TAKLE, 1993;MATTOS et al, 2014). Com centenas de genes no genoma, todas as proteínas gp85/TS compartilham um domínio de sialidase com motivos de ASP-box (sequência SxDxG) e o motivo peptídico VTVxNVxLYNRPLN (CROSS;TAKLE, 1993).…”
