Leishmaniadual‐specificity tyrosine‐regulated kinase 1 (DYRK1) is required for sustainingLeishmaniastationary phase phenotype

Although the multiplicative and growth‐arrested states play key roles in Leishmania development, the regulators of these transitions are largely unknown. In an attempt to gain a better understanding of these processes, we characterised one member of a family of protein kinases with dual specificity, Lin DYRK1, which acts as a stasis regulator in other organisms. Lin DYRK1 overexpressing parasites displayed a decrease in proliferation and in cell...
