A Function for a Specific Zinc Metalloprotease of African Trypanosomes
The Trypanosoma brucei genome encodes three groups of zinc metalloproteases, each of which contains ∼30% amino acid identity with the major surface protease (MSP, also called GP63) of Leishmania. One of these proteases, TbMSP-B, is encoded by four nearly identical, tandem genes transcribed in both b...
