Structural basis for ligand and innate immunity factor uptake by the trypanosome haptoglobin-haemoglobin receptor

The haptoglobin-haemoglobin receptor (HpHbR) of African trypanosomes allows acquisition of haem and provides an uptake route for trypanolytic factor-1, a mediator of innate immunity against trypanosome infection. In this study, we report the structure of Trypanosoma brucei HpHbR in complex with huma...
