(University of NairobiDepartment of Medical Microbiology, 2010-12)We report four novel KIR2DL2 alleles and two novel KIR2DL3 alleles identified from an East African population using sequence-based typing. Sequencing and molecular cloning of exon 4 confirmed that the new 2DL2 alleles were ... -
A novel function for the atypical small G protein Rab-like 5 in the assembly of the trypanosome flagellum
(Department of Biochemistry, 2009)The atypical small G protein Rab-like 5 has been shown to traffic in sensory cilia of Caenorhabditis elegans, where it participates in signalling processes but not in cilia construction. In this report, we demonstrate that ... -
