Translational repression by an RNA-binding protein promotes differentiation to infective forms in Trypanosoma cruzi.

Trypanosomes, protozoan parasites of medical importance, essentially rely on post-transcriptional mechanisms to regulate gene expression in insect vectors and vertebrate hosts. RNA binding proteins (RBPs) that associate to the 3'-UTR of mature mRNAs are thought to orchestrate master development...
