Leishmania donovani's protein tyrosine phosphatases interact with DUF21 and respond to environmental magnesium

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 6, Page 1754-1770, March 2026.
The Leishmania phosphatase PTP1, and possibly the genetically similar PTP2, interacts with the Leishmania transmembrane protein DUF21. When both ptp1 and ptp2 are knocked out of Leishmania (LdΔPTP1/2), the parasite can no longer survive without magnesium in vitro and has reduced viability in the host macrophage. Conversely, in duf21 knockout (LdΔDUF21),
