Pedal to the Metal: Nuclear Splicing Bodies Turbo-Charge VSG mRNA Production in African Trypanosomes
The African trypanosome Trypanosoma brucei is a parasite of the mammalian bloodstream and tissues, where an antigenically variable Variant Surface Glycoprotein (VSG) coat protects it from immune attack. This dense layer comprised of ∼10(7) VSG proteins, makes VSG by far the most abundant mRNA (7–10%...
