Division and adaptation to host nutritional environment of apicomplexan parasites depend on apicoplast lipid metabolic plasticity and host organelles remodelling

2019-03-22

Abstract excerpt

Apicomplexan parasites are unicellular eukaryotes responsible for major human diseases including malaria and toxoplasmosis. Apicomplexan parasites must obtain and combine lipids both from host cell scavenging and de novo synthesis to maintain parasite propagation and survival within their human host. Major questions on the actual role for each lipid source or how these are regulated upon fluctuating host nutritio...
