Purification and Specificity of Two α-Glucosidase Isoforms of the Parasitic Protist Trichomonas vaginalis (2000)

Benno H. Ter Kuile, Ivan Hrdý, Lidya B. Sánchez, Miklós Müller

Two isoforms of α-glucosidase were purified from the parasitic protist Trichomonas vaginalis. Both consisted of 103 kDa subunits, but differed in pH optimum and substrate specificity. Isoform 1 had...

Pyruvate Decarboxylase, the Target for Omeprazole in Metronidazole-Resistant and Iron-Restricted Tritrichomonas foetus

Sutak, Róbert, Tachezy, Jan, Kulda, Jaroslav, Hrdý, Ivan

The substituted benzimidazole omeprazole, used for the treatment of human peptic ulcer disease, inhibits the growth of the metronidazole-resistant bovine pathogen Tritrichomonas foetus in vitro (MIC...

Alternative Pathway of Metronidazole Activation in Trichomonas vaginalis Hydrogenosomes

Hrdý, Ivan, Cammack, Richard, Stopka, Pavel, Kulda, Jaroslav, Tachezy, Jan

Metronidazole and related 5-nitroimidazoles are the only available drugs in the treatment of human urogenital trichomoniasis caused by the protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. The drugs are...

Frataxin, a Conserved Mitochondrial Protein, in the Hydrogenosome of Trichomonas vaginalis▿

Dolezal, Pavel, Dancis, Andrew, Lesuisse, Emmanuel, Sutak, Róbert, Hrdý, Ivan, Embley, T. Martin, ...

Recent data suggest that frataxin plays a key role in eukaryote cellular iron metabolism, particularly in mitochondrial heme and iron-sulfur (FeS) cluster biosynthesis. We have now identified a...
