Most proteins, including fructose bisphosphate aldolase, are stable in the procyclic trypomastigote form of Trypanosoma brucei.
Procyclic Trypanosoma brucei were labelled with [35S]methionine, then incubated for up to 2 days in medium containing excess unlabelled methionine under conditions suitable for exponential growth. Neither fructose bisphosphate aldolase, a glycosomal enzyme, nor any of the major labelled proteins showed any detectable degradation.
