Tight binding between a pool of the heterodimeric alpha/beta tubulin and a protein kinase CK2 in Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes.

abstract：:Two cDNAs encoding cysteine proteinases were isolated from a cDNA library constructed from feeding females of Heterodera glycines. The library was screened with a cysteine proteinase gene fragment originally amplified from cDNA of H. glycines. Database searches predict that 1 cDNA (hgcp-I) encodes a cathepsin L-like p...
