Pyrimidine transport activities in trypanosomes.

Trends in parasitology - 1 May 2007

Bellofatto Vivian

Abstract excerpt

Parasites of the Trypanosomatidae family are unable to synthesize purines. Instead, they rely on their hosts to supply these necessary compounds. The article by Gudin et al. identifies three transport mechanisms of the equilibrative nucleoside transporter family by which nucleosides and nucleobases are transported in this medically important family of organisms. The work by Gudin et al. characterizes the dynamics...
