Abstract excerpt
Bacterial formate-nitrite transporters (FNT) regulate the metabolic flow of small weak mono-acids derived from anaerobic mixed-acid fermentation, such as formate, and further transport nitrite and hydrosulfide. The eukaryotic Plasmodium falciparumFNT is vital for the malaria parasite by its ability to release the larger l-lactate substrate as the metabolic end product of anaerobic glycolysis in symport with...
