Expression of a major surface protein of Trypanosoma brucei insect forms is controlled by the activity of mitochondrial enzymes.

abstract：:In the phagocytic cell, NADPH oxidase (Nox2) system, cytoplasmic regulators (p47(phox), p67(phox), p40(phox), and Rac) translocate and associate with the membrane-spanning flavocytochrome b(558), leading to activation of superoxide production. We examined membrane targeting of phox proteins and explored conformational...
