Synthesis versus Salvage of Ester- and Ether-linked Phosphatidylethanolamine in the Intracellular Protozoan Pathogen Toxoplasma gondii

2022-10-03

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> Toxoplasma gondii is a prevalent zoonotic pathogen infecting livestock as well as humans. The exceptional ability of this parasite to reproduce in several types of nucleated host cells necessitates a coordinated usage of endogenous and host-derived nutritional resources for membrane biogenesis. Phosphatidylethanolamine is the second abundant phospholipid in T. gondii, but how its requir...
