Deskripsi

Apicomplexa generate essential lipids as combination of host fatty acids and de novo synthesized within the apicoplast. Here, the authors identify a phosphatidic acid phosphatase in Toxoplasma gondii, TgLIPIN, as central for controlled lipid synthesis and define the host-scavenged lipidome.
