Constitutive expression of UDP-glucosyltransferases from Haemonchus contortus
 Nekovová, Lucie ; Matoušková, Petra (advisor) ; Vokřál, Ivan (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Biochemical Sciences Candidate: Lucie Nekovová Supervisor: Ing. Petra Matoušková, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Constitutive expression of UDP-glucosyltransferases from Haemonchus contortus Haemonchosis is one of the most frequent parasitic disease on small ruminants caused by gastrointestinal nematode Haemonchus contortus. Attack of this blood sucking parasite does not mean only serious health damage but also lower productivity and economic losses. Anthelmintics are used as a medical treatment of haemonchosis however they are often insufficient because of worlwide developing resistence. Knowledge of mechanisms causing resistence is still not sufficient, therefore much effort is spent in order to find the factors which could be their source. It appears that changes of biotransformation enzymes and their expression might be one of the reason for resistence. At H. contortus more than 40 genes which code a different types of UDP- glucosyltransferases (UGTs) have been found. UGTs are the main enzymes in nematode which are connected with a deactivation of drugs (glycosylation). Therefore this thesis is focused especially on UGT family with the main goal to analyse changes in expression of these genes of susceptible (ISE) and...
