Exploring the cystatins of helminths
Original language description
Parasitic organisms release numerous types of molecules essential for their survival. Cystatins - cysteine peptidase inhibitors (CPI) were determined as important protein molecules which participate in the processes in the host-parasite interface. Theireffect can influence the host immune response, particularly the processing and presentation of antigens, production of nitric oxide, etc. The aim of our study is to expand the information about cystatins produced by helminths and to reveal their functions in four selected parasitic model species representing the major groups of helminths. We used bioinformatic tools to analyze the transcriptomic and/or genomic data of Eudiplozoon nipponicum (Monogenea), Hymenolepis diminuta (Cestoda), Fascioloides magna(Trematoda) and Trichinella spiralis (Nematoda) and we searched for the presence of conserved cystatin domains.
