Conserved motifs in nuclear genes encoding predicted mitochondrial proteins in Trypanosoma cruzi.

Conserved motifs in nuclear genes encoding predicted mitochondrial proteins in Trypanosoma cruzi.

Trypanosoma cruzi, the protozoan parasite that causes Chagas' disease, exhibits peculiar biological features. Among them, the presence of a unique mitochondrion is remarkable. Even though the mitochondrial DNA constitutes up to 25% of total cellular DNA, the structure and functionality of the m...
