Expression and copper binding properties of the N-terminal domain of copper P-type ATPases of African trypanosomes

In conclusion, Trypanosoma species express a copper-transporting P1B-1-type ATPase and together with other copper-binding proteins identified in the genomes of kinetoplastid parasites may constitute potential targets for anti-trypanosomal drug discovery.Graphical abstract
