tRNA Modification and Genetic Code Variations in Animal Mitochondria by Kimitsuna Watanabe, Shin-ichi Yokobori

“…They are UGA (termination codon in the universal genetic code changes to Trp codon in all animal mitochondria), AUA (Ile to Met in most metazoan mitochondria), AAA (Lys to Asn in echinoderm and some platyhelminth mitochondria), AGA/AGG (Arg to Ser in most invertebrate, Arg to Gly in tunicate, and Arg to termination in vertebrate mitochondria), and UAA (termination to Tyr in a planaria and a nematode mitochondria, but conclusive evidence is lacking in this case). …”

Lysophosphatidylcholine: A Novel Modulator of Trypanosoma cruzi Transmission by Mário A. C. Silva-Neto, Alan B. Carneiro, Livia Silva-Cardoso, Georgia C. Atella

“…Finally, LPC inhibits NO production by macrophages stimulated by live T. cruzi, and thus interferes with the immune system of the vertebrate host. In the present paper, we discuss the main signaling mechanisms that are likely used by such molecule and their eventual use as targets to block parasite transmission and the pathogenesis of Chagas disease.…”
