DOI: 10.1021/acsinfecdis.5c00531

Abstract: Leishmania major, an intracellular protozoan parasite, resides within parasitophorous vacuoles in host macrophages and relies on host-pathway manipulation for survival. Here, we uncover a novel role of the Leishmania surface metalloprotease GP63 in stabilizing the… read more here.

Published in 2017 at "Molecular Microbiology"

DOI: 10.1111/mmi.13710

Abstract: Bacteriophages recognize and bind to their hosts with the help of receptor‐binding proteins (RBPs) that emanate from the phage particle in the form of fibers or tailspikes. RBPs show a great variability in their shapes,… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "PLoS Pathogens"

DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1010640

Abstract: Colonization of host phagocytic cells by Leishmania metacyclic promastigotes involves several parasite effectors, including the zinc-dependent metalloprotease GP63. The major mode of action of this virulence factor entails the cleavage/degradation of host cell proteins. Given… read more here.
