Trypanosomatid selenophosphate synthetase structure, function and interaction with selenocysteine lyase.

Trypanosomatid selenophosphate synthetase structure, function and interaction with selenocysteine lyase.

Eukaryotes from the Excavata superphylum have been used as models to study the evolution of cellular molecular processes. Strikingly, human parasites of the Trypanosomatidae family (T. brucei, T. cruzi and L. major) conserve the complex machinery responsible for selenocysteine biosynthesis and incor...
