Metabolic proof-reading in Plasmodium berghei: essentiality of phosphoglycolate phosphatase

2018-12-13

Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) 4-nitrophenylphosphatase was earlier shown to be involved in vitamin B1 metabolism by KnÖckel et al., (Mol. Biochem. Parasitol. 2008, 157, 241-243). An independent BLASTp search showed that the protein had significant homology with phosphoglycolate phosphatase from mouse, human and yeast, and prompted us to re-investigate the biochemical properties of the recombinant Plasmodium enzyme. O...
