PG - 125 LID - 10.1007/s00203-023-03463-6 [doi] AB - With unidentified chemical triggers and novel-effectors, cAMP signaling is broadly noncanonical in kinetoplastida parasites. Though novel protein kinase A regulatory subunits (PKAR) have been identified earlier, cAMP Response Proteins (CARPs) have been identified as a unique and definite cAMP effector of trypanosomatids. CARP1-CARP4 emerged as critical regulatory components of cAMP signaling pathway in Trypanosoma with evidences that CARP3 can directly interact with a flagellar adenylate cyclase (AC). CARP-mediated regulations, identified so far, reflects the mechanistic diversity of cAMP signaling. Albeit the function of the orthologous is not yet delineated, in kinetoplastids like Leishmania, presence of CARP1, 2 and 4 orthologues suggests existence of conserved effector mechanisms. Targeting CARP orthologues in Leishmania, a comprehensive evolutionary analysis of CARPs have been aimed in this study which revealed phylogenetic relationship, codon adaptation and structural heterogeneity among the orthologues, warranting functional analysis in future to explore their involvement in infectivity.
