Sterol targeting drugs reveal life cycle stage-specific differences in trypanosome lipid rafts
Abstract Cilia play important roles in cell signaling, facilitated by the unique lipid environment of a ciliary membrane containing high concentrations of sterol-rich lipid rafts. The African trypanosome Trypanosoma brucei is a single-celled eukaryote with a single cilium/flagellum. We tested whethe...
