Article
Full-text available
The Ubiquitin Proteasome System is the main proteolytic pathway in eukaryotic cells, playing a role in key cellular processes. The essentiality of the Plasmodium falciparum proteasome is well validated, underlying its potential as an antimalarial target, but selective compounds are required to avoid cytotoxic effects in humans. Almost 550000 compou...
Article
The Ubiquitin Proteasome System (UPS) is one of the main proteolytic pathways in eukaryotic cells, playing an essential role in key cellular processes such as cell cycling and signal transduction. Changes in some of the components of this pathway have been implicated in various conditions, including cancer and infectious diseases such as malaria. T...

Antimalarial drug resistance compels the quest for new compounds that target alternative pathways to current drugs. The Plasmodium cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) has essential functions in all of the major life cycle developmental stages. An imidazopyridine PKG inhibitor scaffold was previously shown to clear P. falciparum infection in a...
Article

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), caused by the protozoan parasites Leishmania donovani and Leishmania infantum , is one of the major parasitic diseases worldwide. There is an urgent need for new drugs to treat VL, because current therapies are unfit for purpose in a resource-poor setting. Here, we describe the development of a preclinical drug candidat...

The stringent response enables Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ) to shut down its replication and metabolism under various stresses. Here we show that Mtb lacking the stringent response enzyme Rel Mtb was unable to slow its replication rate during nutrient starvation. Metabolomics analysis revealed that the nutrient-starved rel Mtb -deficient stra...
Chapter
Tandem ubiquitin-binding entities (TUBEs) act as molecular traps to isolate polyubiquitylated proteins facilitating the study of this highly reversible posttranslational modification. We provide here sample preparation and adaptations required for TUBE-based enrichment of the ubiquitin proteome from tumor cell lines or primary cells. Our protocol i...
Article
Biological of significance: In this work we analyze for the first time the interconnection between Plasmodium and human red blood cells ubiquitin-regulated proteins in the context of infection. We identified a number of human and Plasmodium proteins whose ubiquitylation pattern changes during the asexual infective stage. We demonstrate that ubiqui...

The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) is one of the main proteolytical pathways in eukaryotic cells and plays an essential role in key cellular processes such as cell cycle, stress response, signal transduction, and transcriptional regulation. Many components of this pathway have been implicated in diverse pathologies including cancer, neurodegener...
Article
The Ubiquitin-Proteasome System (UPS) plays an important role in the setting of the cellular response to multiple stress signals. Although the primary function of ubiquitin was initially associated with proteolysis, it is now considered as a key regulator of protein function controlling, among other functions, signalling cascades, transcription, ap...
Article
Full-text available
The establishment of methods for an in vitro continuous culture of Plasmodium falciparum is essential for gaining knowledge into its biology and for the development of new treatments. Previously, several techniques have been used to synchronize, enrich and concentrate P. falciparum, although obtaining cultures with high parasitaemia continues being...
