Come, sweet death: Targeting glycosomal protein import for antitrypanosomal drug development.
Curr. Opin. Microbiol. 46, 116-122 (2018)
Glycosomes evolved as specialized system for glycolysis in trypanosomatids. These organelle rely on protein import to maintain function. A machinery of peroxin (PEX) proteins is responsible for recognition and transport of glycosomal proteins to the organelle. Disruption of PEX-based import system was expected to be a strategy against trypanosomatids. Recently, a proof of this hypothesis has been presented. Here, we review current information about trypanosomatids' glycosomal transport components as targets for new trypanocidal therapies.
