Molecular and biochemical characterization of a protein kinase B from Trypanosoma cruzi
A Trypanosoma cruzi gene, PKB, coding for a putative protein kinase was cloned and sequenced. Analysis of the sequence showed that the encoded protein (called PKB) corresponds to a relatively novel subgroup of Ser/Thr protein kinases denominated protein kinases B (PKB), related to A and C protein ki...
