Linear motifs regulating protein secretion, sorting and autophagy in Leishmania parasites are diverged with respect to their host equivalents.
The pathogenic, tropical Leishmania flagellates belong to an early-branching eukaryotic lineage (Kinetoplastida) with several unique features. Unfortunately, they are poorly understood from a molecular biology perspective, making development of mechanistically novel and selective drugs difficult. He...
