The AMPKα1 Pathway Positively Regulates the Developmental Transition from Proliferation to Quiescence in Trypanosoma brucei

The AMPKα1 Pathway Positively Regulates the Developmental Transition from Proliferation to Quiescence in Trypanosoma brucei

During infection in mammals, the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei transforms from a proliferative bloodstream form to a quiescent form that is pre-adapted to host transition. AMP analogs are known to induce quiescence and also inhibit TbTOR4. To examine the role of AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) i...
