Osmoregulation in Trypanosoma Cruzi: The Role of the Acidocalcisome
… revealed a contractile vacuole coupled to acidocalcisomes in all three life cycle stages of the parasite. An aquaporin homologue localized to the acidocalcisomes and contractile vacuole. In epimastigotes expressing a GFP-aquaporin fusion protein, acidocalcisomes trafficked toward the …

Mechanisms of polyphosphate degradation
… are stored in cells within organelles called acidocalcisomes—metal-filled acidic cellular compartments. Human platelets, for example, store polyP of 60-100mer in dense granules (a type of acidocalcisome); upon activation, platelets release the procoagulant molecule into blood. Once in blood, …

Intracellular trafficking of Leishmania major peptidases
… localisation of LMP. Finally, the lysosome-like acidocalcisome organelles have previously been shown to rely on the protein carrier complex AP3 for normal structure and function. In AP3-deficient Leishmania, the acidocalcisomes are defective and, at the same time, parasite virulence is markedly …
