Deletion of a Golgi protein in Trypanosoma cruzi reveals a critical role for Mn(2+) in protein glycosylation needed for host cell invasion and intracellular replication

Trypanosoma cruzi is a protist parasite and the causative agent of American trypanosomiasis or Chagas disease. The parasite life cycle in its mammalian host includes an intracellular stage, and glycosylated proteins play a key role in host-parasite interaction facilitating adhesion, invasion and imm...
