RESUMO

LYT1 is a molecule with lytic activity under acidic conditions that, as genetically demonstrated, participates in the infection and stage transition of T. cruzi. The differing functions of this protein result from alternative trans-splicing, resulting in proteins that contain either a secretion and nuclear sequence (LYT1s) or the nuclear sequence alone (LYT1n). To determine the localization of different LYT1 products, transgenic parasites expressing LYT1s or LYT1n fused to the enhanced green fluorescence sequence were analyzed. LYT1s-EGFP localized to the flagellum, vacuoles, membrane and regions of the nucleus and kinetoplast; LYT1n-EGFP localized to the nucleus and kinetoplast, and occasionally in vacuoles. These results show that even though different LYT1 products localize to the same sites, they are also found in different intracellular organelles and microenvironments, which could influence their multifunctional behavior.


LYT1 es una molécula con actividad lítica en condiciones ácidas, que según se demostró genéticamente, participa en el proceso de infección y transición de estadio de T. cruzi. Su diferente funcionalidad es resultado de la producción de dos proteínas, obtenidas por trans-empalme alternativo, que contienen una secuencia de secreción y una nuclear (LYT1s) o únicamente la secuencia nuclear (LYT1n). Para evaluar la localización de los diferentes productos de LYT1, se analizaron parásitos transgénicos que expresan la secuencia de LYT1s o LYT1n fusionada con la secuencia de la verde fluorescente. LYT1s-EGFP se localiza en flagelo, vacuolas, membrana y región del núcleo y cinetoplasto; mientras que, LYT1n-EGFP se localiza en la región del núcleo y cinetoplasto, y ocasionalmente en vesículas. Estos resultados muestran que aún cuando los distintos productos de LYT1 comparten algunos sitios de localización, también se encuentran en distintos organelos y microambientes intracelulares que podrían influir en su comportamiento multifuncional.

RESUMO

Our research work group has been interested in the study of the ribosomal RNA and 5S gene systems from Trypanosoma cruzi. Our contributions span from the general description of a multifragmented molecular system, to the sequence analysis of some ribosomal RNA coding regions. From the latter, we have constructed phylogenetic trees of the Trypanosomatidae family, and our data indicate that the molecular inferences do not sustain the traditional classification of these species. Our published findings are here reviewed along with recent unpublished observations of ribosomal RNA and 5S gene structures
