In the mammalian host\, trypanosomes generate energy by glycolysis in glycosomes whereas in the insect vector they generate energy by oxidat ive phosphorylation in mitochondria. In mitochondria\, mRNAs undergo a uni que post-transcriptional editing process by guide RNA-dependent insertion and deletion of uridine nucleotides that requires a multi-protein complex\ , the editosome. The edited mRNAs translate into the essential protein sub units of the respiratory chain. Interestingly\, RNA editing is differentia lly regulated between the mammalian and insect life cycle stages of the pa rasite\, resulting in differential mechanisms of ATP generation. However\, it is unknown how the developmental regulation of editing occurs. My Ph.D . project tested the hypothesis that differential editing may reflect the differential function and/or composition of the components of the editosom e and its associated complexes in the different life cycle stages of the p arasite.\n\nEveryone in the 91ºÚÁÏÍø community is welcome to attend a PhD or al defence. Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our PhD c andidates.\n\n \n DTSTART:20181112T181500Z DTEND:20181112T181500Z LOCATION:P-117\, Parasitology Building\, CA\, QC\, St Anne de Bellevue\, H9 X 3V9\, 21111 Lakeshore Road SUMMARY:PhD Oral Defence: The essential role of RBP7910 with Z-DNA domains in U-indel editing URL:/macdonald/channels/event/phd-oral-defence-essenti al-role-rbp7910-z-dna-domains-u-indel-editing-290586 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
