Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) is a human-specific serum protein bound to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles. This protein allows human resistance to infection by African trypanosomes except for two subspecies, Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and T. b. gambiense, the causative agents of sleeping sickness or African trypanosomiasis. This disease infects 20 000 people in sub-Saharan Africa and without treatment, infection is almost always fatal. T. b. rhodesiense resists APOL1 through direct protein neutralization by the Serum Resistance-Associated (SRA) protein. T. b. gambiense does not express SRA, and its mechanism of resistance to APOL1 is orchestrated upon a recently characterized multifactorial defense mechanism.<p><p>The mechanism by w...
