Leishmania major

Description: Animation showing the dimeric structure of the GLO1 enzyme from Leishmania major (PDB accession code 2C21). The catalytic nickel ions are shown in violet, whereas the green and red van der Waals spheres represent the carbon and oxygen atoms of two molecules of (4S)-2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol (MPD). Made by me today with PyMol, the GIMP and a little extra GPL code written by me. Date: 20 February 2008. Source: Own work. Author: WillowW.

Description: English: Leishmania major. L. major promastigotes multiply inside L. amazonensis PVs. Time-lapse recording of macrophages infected with L. amazonensis-WT for 48 hours and superinfected with metacyclic-enriched L. major-DsRed2 promastigotes. Image acquisition started 6 days after L. major-DsRed2 promastigote addition. Division of L. major-DsRed2 promastigote (red) inside L. amazonensis-WT PV (green) was documented. The figure shows phase contrast (Ph2), DsRed2 and Lysotracker merged signals. Time of image acquisition is shown (hh:min). Scale at 5 um. Date: 8 December 2010.

Description: English: Leishmania major. Fusion of L. amazonensis vacuoles with PVs that shelter L. major promastigotes. Multidimensional imaging of macrophages infected with L. amazonensis-WT for previous 48 hours and superinfected with L. major-DsRed2 metacyclic-enriched promastigotes. L. major-DsRed2 promastigote (red) is sheltered by tight PV, weakly stained with Lysotracker (green), which interacts with large, Lysotracker-positive, L. amazonensis-WT PV. Merged images of Lysotracker and DsRed2 signals show transfer of L. major-DsRed2 promastigote to L. amazonensis PV; time after promastigote addition is shown (h:mm). Images were constructed using ImarisTM blend filter. Bars = 10 um. Date: 8 December 2010. Source: https://www.flickr.com/photos/arieviln/5243916718/. Author: Fernando Real.
