• Erv1 associated mitochondrial import-export pathway and the cytosolic iron-sulfur protein assembly machinery in Trypanosoma brucei 

      Basu, Somsuvro (Jihočeská univerzita, 2014)
      This thesis highlights a divergent mitochondrial intermembrane assembly pathway in the parasitic protist Trypanosoma brucei. A comparative genomic study reveals the connection of Erv1 with the cytosolic iron-sulfur protein ...
    • Evolution of the tetrapyrrole synthesis in eukaryotes 

      Kořený, Luděk (Jihočeská univerzita, 2011)
      This thesis focuses on the nature of heme metabolism in various eukaryotes. One of the aims was the elucidation of the origin of the unique heme biosynthesis pathway in apicomplexan parasites through a comparative study ...
    • Genomics of Blastocrithidia, a trypanosomatid with all three stop codons reassigned 

      Nenarokova, Anna (Jihočeská univerzita, 2020)
      This work describes genomic studies of Blastocrithidia, the trypanosomatid with all three stop codons encoding amino acids and the only known euglenozoan with non-standard nuclear genetic code. We describe unique genomic ...
    • Mitochondrial gene expression in trypanosomatids 

      Procházková, Michaela (Jihočeská univerzita, 2018)
      This thesis comprises of diverse projects all focused towards analysis of mitochondrial translation in unicellular parasites. As only two mitochondrially encoded genes are required during the life cycle stage when Trypanosoma ...
    • Nutritional requirements of ticks. 

      Perner, Jan (Jihočeská univerzita, 2017)
      Ticks acquire nutrients only by a parasitic nature of feeding on animals, including humans. During this process, a wide array of pathogens is transmitted. Ticks of the Ixodidae family receive exactly one blood meal in ...
