#Phosphofructokinase (PFK) is considered an irreversible glycolytic #enzyme. This study shows that #Trypanosomes are the only known organism to use PFK in the gluconeogenic direction under normal conditions, likely due to its compartmentalization within glycosomes @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/43r84Qc

Pam16 & Pam18 are essential for #mitochondrial protein import in eukaryotes, but not in #Trypanosomes. @aschneiderlab show that TbPam16/18 have been repurposed to regulate #replication of #maxicircles within the T. brucei mitochondrial genome #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3STOEis

How #Trypanosomes keep their mitochondrial genome https://fems-microbiology.org/femsmicroblog-how-trypanosomes-keep-their-mitochondrial-genome/
Mitochondrial #genome maintenance—the #kinetoplast story: Simona Amodeo et al. https://academic.oup.com/femsre/advance-article/doi/10.1093/femsre/fuac047/6855247
The parasite #Trypanosoma brucei lives and replicates in insect vectors like the fly. During the mating process, both its #nucleus and #mitochondrion replicate and exchange their genetic information, while the mitochondrial mechanism is still incompletely understood.
