COMPREHENSIVE CHARACTERIZATION OF TOXOPLASMA ACYL COENZYME A-BINDING PROTEIN TGACBP2 AND ITS CRITICAL ROLE IN PARASITE CARDIOLIPIN METABOLISM

Comprehensive Characterization of Toxoplasma Acyl Coenzyme A-Binding Protein TgACBP2 and Its Critical Role in Parasite Cardiolipin Metabolism

ABSTRACT Acyl coenzyme A (CoA)-binding protein (ACBP) can bind acyl-CoAs with high specificity and affinity, thus playing multiple roles in cellular functions.Mitochondria of the apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii have emerged as key organelles for lipid metabolism and signaling transduction.However, the rationale for how this parasite utilize

Postsaturation dynamics and superluminal propagation of a superradiant spike in a free-electron laser amplifier

We study the nightstick twm-850xl dynamics of an isolated spike of radiation in superradiant regime.We show that conditions exist where the pulse moves with a group velocity larger than the velocity of light in vacuum and is followed by a pedestal resulting from a complex postsaturation dynamics.The tail is constituted by a train of subpulses with
