Deletion of copies of the gene encoding old yellow enzyme (TcOYE), a NAD (P) H flavin oxidoreductase, associates with in vitro-induced benznidazole resistance in …

…, FFM Campos, CM Probst, AR Avila… - Molecular and …, 2006 - Elsevier
Old yellow enzyme (OYE) is a NAD(P)H flavin oxidoreductase that in Trypanosoma cruzi (TcOYE)
catalyzes prostaglandin PGF2α synthesis and reduction of some trypanocidal drugs. …

[HTML][HTML] Comparative genomics of proteins involved in RNA nucleocytoplasmic export

M Serpeloni, NM Vidal, S Goldenberg, AR Ávila… - BMC evolutionary …, 2011 - Springer
Background The establishment of the nuclear membrane resulted in the physical separation
of transcription and translation, and presented early eukaryotes with a formidable challenge…

[HTML][HTML] Proteomic analysis reveals the dynamic association of proteins with translated mRNAs in Trypanosoma cruzi

LR Alves, AR Ávila, A Correa, FB Holetz, FCB Mansur… - Gene, 2010 - Elsevier
Gene regulation is mainly post-transcriptional in trypanosomatids. The stability of mRNA
and access to polysomes are thought to be tightly regulated, allowing Trypanosoma cruzi to …

UAP56 is a conserved crucial component of a divergent mRNA export pathway in Toxoplasma gondii

…, P Mörking, GS Pall, M Meissner, AR Ávila - Molecular …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Nucleo‐cytoplasmic RNA export is an essential post‐transcriptional step to control gene
expression in eukaryotic cells and is poorly understood in apicomplexan parasites. With the …

[HTML][HTML] Transcription activity contributes to the firing of non-constitutive origins in African trypanosomes helping to maintain robustness in S-phase duration

…, CB Araújo, BB Scholl, AR Ávila, R McCulloch… - Scientific Reports, 2019 - nature.com
The co-synthesis of DNA and RNA potentially generates conflicts between replication and
transcription, which can lead to genomic instability. In trypanosomatids, eukaryotic parasites …

Characterization of a novel Obg-like ATPase in the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi

…, CM Probst, A Correa, FB Holetz, AR Avila… - International journal for …, 2009 - Elsevier
We characterized a gene encoding an YchF-related protein, TcYchF, potentially associated
with the protein translation machinery of Trypanosoma cruzi. YchF belongs to the translation …

Key factors associated with pulmonary sequelae in the follow-up of critically ill COVID-19 patients

…, ÁA Calderón, S Álvarez, AÁ Ruiz, R Andrea… - Archivos de …, 2023 - Elsevier
Introduction Critical COVID-19 survivors have a high risk of respiratory sequelae. Therefore,
we aimed to identify key factors associated with altered lung function and CT scan …

Trypanosoma cruzi: a gene family encoding chitin-binding-like proteins is posttranscriptionally regulated during metacyclogenesis

B Dallagiovanna, C Plazanet-Menut, SFY Ogatta… - Experimental …, 2001 - Elsevier
… Bruno Dallagiovanna,* Claire Plazanet-Menut,† Sueli Fumie Yamada Ogatta,‡ Andrea R. …

[HTML][HTML] Re-emergence of Gamma-like-II and emergence of Gamma-S: E661D SARS-CoV-2 lineages in the south of Brazil after the 2021 outbreak

…, AM Aguiar, L Albrecht, D Zanette, AR Ávila… - Virology Journal, 2021 - Springer
Background We report a genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 lineages circulating in Paraná,
southern Brazil, from March 2020 to April 2021. Our analysis, based on 333 genomes, …

Conditional removal of selectable markers in Trypanosoma cruzi using a site-specific recombination tool: proof of concept

MM Kangussu-Marcolino, AP Cunha, AR Avila… - Molecular and …, 2014 - Elsevier
The scarcity of molecular tools for genetic manipulation is a critical obstacle for functional
genomics studies on Trypanosoma cruzi. The current study adapted an inducible site-specific …
