Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
DNA and amino acid sequence determination and analysis, expression of wild-type and mutant GST-fusion enzymes in Escherichia coli, expression of a GFP-tagged enzyme in the null mutant strain, complementation of the null mutant strain by expression of the enzyme from plasmid or by reintegration of the wild-type gene into the genomic DNA locus Leishmania mexicana

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
K102R site-directed mutagenesis, kinase inactive mutant, but slight autophosphorylation activity, the mutant strain shows a phenotype with a proliferation defect after infection of human macrophages and no or delayed lesion development in mice Leishmania mexicana
additional information construction of deletion/disruption, null, or loss-of-function mutants, which all show a phenotype with a proliferation defect after infection of human macrophages and no or delayed lesion development in mice, gene replacement method Leishmania mexicana
