title: Accelerated recycling of transferrin receptor in Theileria-transformed B cells.
abstract: We found that phoshatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3-K) markedly contributes to the increased surface expression of bovine transferrin receptor (TfR) on Theileria-infected lymphocytes. We observed that all aspects of TfR turnover are upregulated in parasitized B cells and we were able to detect TfR colocalizing with EEA1 (early endosome antigen 1) and Rab11 at the ultrastructure level in Theileria-infected B cells. We demonstrated recycling of TfR through Rab5- and Rab11-positive compartments by transfection of dominant negative guanosine diphosphate (GDP)-on mutants of the GTPases. Therefore, in Theileria-transformed B cells constitutive PI3-K activity leads to accelerated TfR recycling through Rab5- and Rab11-positive compartments.
