Regulation of nuclear translocation of the Myb1 transcription factor by Tv Cyclophilin 1 in the protozoan parasite, Trichomonas vaginalis.
Dr. Tai, Jung-Hsiang
J Biol Chem., May 15, 2014In Trichomonas vaginalis, a Myb1 protein was previously demonstrated to repress transcription of an iron-inducible ap65-1 gene. In this study, a human cyclophilin A homologue, TvCyclophilin 1 (TvCyP1), was identified as a Myb1-binding protein using a bacterial two-hybrid library screening system. The recombinant TvCyP1 (rTvCyP1) exhibited typical peptidyl-prolyl isomerase activity
