Galactose starvation in a bloodstream form Trypanosoma brucei UDP-glucose 4'-epimerase conditional null mutant.

Eukaryotic cell - 1 Nov 2006

Urbaniak Michael D, Turnock Daniel C, Ferguson Michael A J

Abstract excerpt

Galactose metabolism is essential for the survival of Trypanosoma brucei, the etiological agent of African sleeping sickness. T. brucei hexose transporters are unable to transport galactose, which is instead obtained through the epimerization of UDP-glucose to UDP-galactose catalyzed by UDP-glucose 4'-epimerase (galE). Here, we have characterized the phenotype of a bloodstream form T. brucei galE conditional null...
