Structure of the trypanosome transferrin receptor reveals mechanisms of ligand recognition and immune evasion
To maintain prolonged infection of mammals, African trypanosomes have evolved remarkable surface coats and a system of antigenic variation1. Within these coats are receptors for macromolecular nutrients such as transferrin2,3. These must be accessible to their ligands but must not confer susceptibil...
