The mitochondrial phosphate carrier TbMCP11 is essential for mitochondrial function in the procyclic form of Trypanosoma brucei (2020)
Journal Article
Gao, F., Voncken, F., & Colasante, C. (2020). The mitochondrial phosphate carrier TbMCP11 is essential for mitochondrial function in the procyclic form of Trypanosoma brucei. Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 237, Article 111275. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molbiopara.2020.111275

Conserved amongst all eukaryotes is a family of mitochondrial carrier proteins (SLC25A) responsible for the import of various solutes across the inner mitochondrial membrane. We previously reported that the human parasite Trypanosoma brucei possesses...

CO2 capture using mesocellular siliceous foam (MCF)-supported CaO (2018)
Journal Article
Gao, F., Huang, J., Sun, H., Hu, J., Wang, M., Mi, J., & Wu, C. (2019). CO2 capture using mesocellular siliceous foam (MCF)-supported CaO. Journal of the Energy Institute, 92(5), 1591-1598. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joei.2018.07.015

CaO is a promising material as an alternative CO2 capture material which can be used at high temperature. However, CaO sinters to form large particles under long-term high temperature conditions, resulting in a rapid decrease of its surface area and...

The phosphoarginine energy-buffering system of Trypanosoma brucei is essential and involves multiple arginine kinase isoforms with different subcellular locations. (2013)
Journal Article
Voncken, F., Gao, F., Wadforth, C., Harley, M., & Colasante, C. (2013). The phosphoarginine energy-buffering system of Trypanosoma brucei is essential and involves multiple arginine kinase isoforms with different subcellular locations. PLoS ONE, 8(6), e65908. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0065908

Phosphagen energy-buffering systems play an essential role in regulating the cellular energy homeostasis in periods of high-energy demand or energy supply fluctuations. Here we describe the phosphoarginine/arginine kinase system of the kinetoplastid...

Functional characterization of TbMCP5, a conserved and essential ADP/ATP carrier present in the mitochondrion of the human pathogen Trypanosoma brucei (2012)
Journal Article
Peña-Diaz, P., Pelosi, L., Ebikeme, C., Colasante, C., Gao, F., Bringaud, F., & Voncken, F. (2012). Functional characterization of TbMCP5, a conserved and essential ADP/ATP carrier present in the mitochondrion of the human pathogen Trypanosoma brucei. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 287(50), 41861-41874. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M112.404699

Trypanosoma brucei is a kinetoplastid parasite of medical and veterinary importance. Its digenetic life cycle alternates between the bloodstream form in the mammalian host and the procyclic form (PCF) in the bloodsucking insect vector, the tsetse fly...
