The EIF4E1-4EIP cap-binding complex of Trypanosoma brucei interacts with the terminal uridylyl transferase TUT3.

Most transcription in Trypanosoma brucei is constitutive and polycistronic. Consequently, the parasite relies on post-transcriptional mechanisms, especially affecting translation initiation and mRNA decay, to control gene expression both at steady-state and for adaptation to different environments....
