The unicellular parasite Giardia intestinalis is one of the organisms carrying mitochondrion-related organelle known as mitosome, which is adapted to the microaerobic lifestyle. The only known fuction of the mitosome is the synthesis of the iron-sulphur clusters. The research of the mitosomal proteome provides new information on the biogenesis and function of this unusual organelle. One of the means of the mitosome research is the analysis of the interactome of the known mitosomal proteins. The state-of- the-art method of the interactome approach is the use of the chemical crosslinking and the subsequent immunoaffinity isolation of the complexes, containing the protein of interest. In this thesis, the interactomes of GiTom40 and GiMOMP35 were characterized with the bioinformatic tools. The cellular localization of four of the chosen proteins was determined by the fluorescent microscopy. One of the proteins, the predicted dynein intermediate chain DIC6939, was phylogenetically classified as an axonemal dynein. The superresolution microsopy was utilized to observe the possible colocalization of DIC6939 with the mitosomes and blue native PAGE led to the visualization of its native complexes. In this work, the optimal conditions for DIC6939 interactome isolation were succesfully determined. The outcome...
