p1/s1, a 3’-nucleotidase/nuclease, allows <i>Leishmania major</i> to circumvent host innate immune response mechanisms
2025-08-19
Abstract excerpt
3’-nucleotidases/nucleases, distinct class I nucleases of protozoan parasites, play a pivotal role in extracellular purine salvage. As Leishmania are purine auxotrophs and lack de novo synthesis, ectoenzymes facilitating nucleotide and nucleic acid cleavage are indispensable for subsequent uptake. Employing quantitative proteomics, we identified a class I nuclease p1/s1 cluster in L. major that comprises enzym...
