1 A Trypanosoma brucei protein (NCBI: XP_828034) was experimentally determined as a lethal with sec thirteen 8 (LST8) ortholog, although this protein shows only limited similarity to human and yeast LST8 [6]. The LST8 orthologs in Leishmania major, Bodo saltans, and Angomonas deanei were identified by the NCBI BLAST program with Trypanosoma brucei LST8 as a query. DEPDC5: DEP domain containing 5; NPRL2: nitrogen permease regulator 2-like protein; NPRL3: nitrogen permease regulator 3-like protein; RAPTOR: regulatory associated protein of mTOR; RHEB: Ras homolog enriched in brain; RICTOR: rapamycin-insensitive companion of mTOR; SIN1: stress-activated protein kinase interacting protein 1; TOR: target of rapamycin; TSC1, 2: tuberous sclerosis complex 1, 2.
