BBSome deficiency in Lotmaria passim reveals divergent functions in trypanosomatid parasites
In contrast to Leishmania mexicana, the BBSome in L. passim is crucial for efficient infection of the honey bee gut, demonstrating that its cellular functions vary between related trypanosomatid species. The BBSome is likely an adaptor that links multiple proteins in a species-specific manner under various cellular contexts.
