Blocking Variant Surface Glycoprotein Synthesis in Trypanosoma brucei Triggers a General Arrest in Translation Initiation
BACKGROUND: The African trypanosome Trypanosoma brucei is covered with a dense layer of Variant Surface Glycoprotein (VSG), which protects it from lysis by host complement via the alternative pathway in the mammalian bloodstream. Blocking VSG synthesis by the induction of VSG RNAi triggers an unusua...
