Transduction mechanisms in trypanosma

The presence of a nitric oxide (NO) pathway in Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes was demonstrated. The following components of that pathway were found: glutamate/NMDA receptors, a soluble Ca2+ calmodulin-dependent NO synthase and a soluble Na nitroprussideactivated guanylyl cyclase. In epimastigotes,...

520 3 |a The presence of a nitric oxide (NO) pathway in Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes was demonstrated. The following components of that pathway were found: glutamate/NMDA receptors, a soluble Ca2+ calmodulin-dependent NO synthase and a soluble Na nitroprussideactivated guanylyl cyclase. In epimastigotes, glutamate or NMDA stimulated the conversion of L-arginine to citrulline and increased cell motility. These stimulations could be blocked by MK-801 and ketamine and enhanced by glycine or serine. Motility was also stimulated by L-arginine and Na nitroprusside. In T. cruzi epimastigotes, a specific, Na+-independent, L-arginine transport system was also found. After L-arginine uptake, P-arginine was generated; a L-arginine kinase activity was characterized. Using murine cDNA probes of c-fos and c-jun at low stringency, hybridization signals were detected in restriction fragments of T. cruzi DNA. Employing polyclonal sera raised against human c-fos and c-jun, specific polypeptide bands of about 36 and 40-50 kDa, respectively, were observed in Western blots of cytosolic or nuclear extracts. Moreover, in electrophoretic mobility shift assays using a TRE probe, three specific complexes were obtained which were increased by oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide, and by the entrance of the culture into the stationary phase.
