A tryparedoxin-coupled biosensor reveals a mitochondrial trypanothione metabolism in trypanosomes
Trypanosomes have a trypanothione redox metabolism that provides the reducing equivalents for numerous essential processes, most being mediated by tryparedoxin (Tpx). While the biosynthesis and reduction of trypanothione are cytosolic, the molecular basis of the thiol redox homeostasis in the single...
