| physiological function | Despite the lack of a functional Krebs cycle, x02alpha-KDE1 is expressed in bloodstream form of Trypanosoma brucei. RNAi treatment of alpha-KDE1 mRNA results in rapid growth arrest and killing. Cell death is preceded by progressive swelling of the flagellar pocket as a consequence of recruitment of both flagellar and plasma membranes into the pocket | Trypanosoma brucei |
