Novel Cytoskeleton-Associated Proteins in Trypanosoma brucei Are Essential for Cell Morphogenesis and Cytokinesis

Marina Schock et al.

Summary: Trypanosome brucei, the causative agent of African sleeping sickness, has a highly ordered subpellicular microtubule cytoskeleton associated with various proteins regulating morphology, motility, and virulence. Identified protein CAP50 colocalises with microtubules but not with the flagellum, playing a crucial role in maintaining cellular integrity. Depletion of CAP50, along with CAP52 and CAP42, results in defects in cytokinesis, morphology, and microtubule organization.

The Trypanosoma brucei subpellicular microtubule array is organized into functionally discrete subdomains defined by microtubule associated proteins

Amy N. Sinclair et al.

Summary: Microtubules are dynamic cytoskeletal polymers essential for intracellular trafficking and cell division. The subpellicular microtubule array in Trypanosoma brucei is a highly specialized bundle of microtubules that is stabilized by array-associated proteins and essential for maintaining cell shape. The localization patterns of proteins within the array suggest a regulatory mechanism for tuning microtubule properties to adapt to different cellular stresses.
