It is involved in growth and development, cell cycle progression, protection against cellular stresses and apoptosis, indicating the multifunctional role of the protein. Here, for the first time we characterize the expression and function of TCTP in the human and animal pathogen, Trypanosoma brucei. We identified two paralogs (TCTP1 and TCTP2) that are differentially expressed in the life cycle of the parasite. The genes have identical 5' UTRs and almost identical open reading frames.

RNAi experiments demonstrate that TCTP1 and TCTP2 expression is essential for normal cell growth in procyclic and bloodstream form parasites, respectively. Depletion of TCTP1 in procyclic form cells leads to aberrant cell and mitochondrial organelle morphology as well as enlarged and reduced number of acidocalcisomes.</jats:p> Distinct 3’ UTRs regulate the life-cycle specific expression of two<i>TCTP</i>paralogs in<i>Trypanosoma brucei</i> Journal of Cell Science
