Secreted Trypanosome Cyclophilin Inactivates Lytic Insect Defense Peptides and Induces Parasite Calcineurin Activation and Infectivity

The mechanisms by which <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i> survives antimicrobial peptides and differentiates during its transit through the gastrointestinal tract of the reduviid vector are unknown. We show that cyclophilin, a peptidyl-prolyl isomerase secreted from <i>T. cruzi</i> epimastigotes, binds to an...
