Description
Microsporidia are unicellular parasites that lack mitochondria and peroxisomes and are characterized by production of resistant spores. Encephalitozoon cuniculi is one of the 14 microsporidians that have been identified as human pathogens, causing various pathologies affecting the nervous system as well as the respiratory and digestive tracts. It can also infect a wide range of other hosts, being a major health issue for rabbits. Encephalitozoon cuniculi has a very small and specialized genome, which can be used as a tool for identifying genes that are involved in energy metabolism and in infections that parasites cause in humans.
The reference proteome for E. cuniculi is derived from the genome sequence published in 2001. The genome is remarkably compact, with a size of about 2.9Mb. Genome compaction is reflected by reduced intergenic spacers and by the shortness of most putative proteins relative to their eukaryote orthologs.
