EXPLORING THE FUNCTION OF PROTEIN KINASES IN SCHISTOSOMES: PERSPECTIVES FROM THE LABORATORY AND FROM COMPARATIVE GENOMICS

Exploring the function of protein kinases in schistosomes: perspectives from the laboratory and from comparative genomics

Eukaryotic protein kinases are well conserved through evolution.The genome of Schistosoma mansoni, which causes intestinal schistosomiasis, encodes over 250 putative protein kinases with all of the main eukaryotic groups represented.However, unraveling functional roles for these kinases is a considerable Bath Brushes endeavour, particularly as prot
