Representation of the TcTS/sialoglycoproteins system on T. cruzi trypomastigotes surface. (A) A scanning electron micrograph of a bloodstream form T. cruzi trypomastigote (www.fiocruz.br/chagas_eng/cgi/cgilua.exe/sys/start.htm?sid=13) is shown. (B) The cartoon represents the GPI-anchored TcTS, TcTS_Y342H/sialoglycoproteins covering the trypomastigote surface. Sia present on T. cruzi sialoglycoproteins (C) is transfered from host sialoglycoconjugates to β-Galp containing glycoproteins expressed on parasite surface (D) by TcTS activity.
