Cell Biology of Pathogenic Protozoa and Their Interaction with Host Cells

A protein was identified and designated as TvACTN3, the cytoplasmic protein that specifically binds to hairpin RNA structures from trichomonads when the parasites are grown under iron-depleted conditions. [...]TvACTN3 could participate in the regulation of gene expression by iron in T. vaginalis.
