Divergent polyamine metabolism in the Apicomplexa [PDF]
Microbiology, 2007 The lead enzymes of polyamine biosynthesis, i.e. ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and arginine decarboxylase (ADC), were not detected in Toxoplasma gondii [the limit of detection for ODC and ADC was 5 pmol min(-1) (mg protein)(-1)], indicating that T. gondii lacks a forward-directed polyamine biosynthetic pathway, and is therefore a polyamine auxotroph ...

NAD(P) transhydrogenase isoform distribution provides insight into apicomplexan evolution
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Membrane-located NAD(P) transhydrogenase (NTH) catalyses reversible hydride ion transfer between NAD(H) and NADP(H), simultaneously translocating a proton across the membrane. The enzyme is structurally conserved across prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
