摘要: Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of African Sleeping Sickness, is replete with unique biochemistry, including unusual features gene transcription. The parasite also contains over 4500 non-annotated genes, representing novel biochemistry yet to be explored. Using tandem affinity purification (TAP)-tagged TbTFIIB, we identified and subsequently confirmed, one T. brucei proteins, Tb11.02.4300, as a TbTFIIB-interacting protein. 49 kDa protein nuclear essential for variability determined by RNA interference studies; hence, nomenclature Essential Nuclear Factor (TbENF). TbENF shown interact DNA in sequence-independent fashion under conditions examined. Furthermore, bears motifs associated many eukaryotic transcription factors, such glutamine-rich region leucine zipper, specific trypanosomatids making it potentially attractive therapeutic target. Taken together, our results suggest role trypanosome
