Trypanosoma cruzi LYT1 mRNA-binding proteins. Supplementary materials.

The present data show an overview of the proteins expressed in the epimastigote and trypomastigote stage of T. cruzi associated with LYT1 mRNA UTRs, a virulence factor reported in this parasite species. The set of proteins associated with LYT1 UTRs in the infective stage of T. cruzi Trypomastigote or in one of the replicative stages of this parasite, the epimastigote, provide relevant information on the proteome of the etiological agent of Chagas disease. This list of proteins will allow those interested in this topic to functionally characterize proteins of interest and to apply the construction of simulations or in silico models using bioinformatics tools.

A set of proteins associated with each UTR of LYT1 mRNA becomes a starting point to elucidate the direct or indirect role of each protein factor in the regulation of LYT1 protein isoform expression. New proteins were identified in T. cruzi recorded here by our research group, expanding the proteome databases of this medically important parasite.
