Biosynthesis of lipophosphoglycan from Leishmania donovani: characterization of mannosylphosphate transfer in vitro.

Archives of biochemistry and biophysics - 1 Jun 1992

Carver M A, Turco S J

Abstract excerpt

Lipophosphoglycan (LPG) is the major surface glycoconjugate of Leishmania donovani promastigotes and is composed of a capped polymer of repeating PO4-6Gal(beta 1,4)Man alpha 1 disaccharide units linked via a phosphosaccharide core to a lyso-1-O-alkylphosphatidylinositol anchor. An exogenous acceptor composed of the glycolipid anchor portion of LPG was shown to stimulate the enzymatic synthesis of the repeating...
