Molecular characterisation of Trypanosoma brucei alkyl dihydroxyacetone-phosphate synthase.

Molecular and biochemical parasitology - 25 Oct 1999

Zomer A W, Michels P A, Opperdoes F R

Abstract excerpt

Alkyl dihydroxyacetone-phosphate synthase is the second enzyme of the ether-lipid biosynthetic pathway which is responsible for the introduction of the ether linkage between a fatty alcohol and a glycerol present in a subclass of phospholipids, the plasmalogens and possibly in glycolipid membrane anchors. In this study the gene coding for alkyl dihydroxyacetone-phosphate synthase was isolated from Trypanosoma...
