Inhibition of glycosylphosphatidylinositol biosynthesis in Leishmania mexicana by mannosamine

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1993
In several Leishmania species, glycosylated inositol phospholipids exist as free lipids, as membrane protein anchors, and as the membrane-binding moieties of the lipophosphoglycans. Both the glycolipid-anchored cell surface metalloproteinase, gp63, and the lipophosphoglycans have been proposed to be involved in cell invasion.

Functional and genetic evidence that nucleoside transport is highly conserved in Leishmania species: Implications for pyrimidine-based chemotherapy

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2017
Leishmania pyrimidine salvage is replete with opportunities for therapeutic intervention with enzyme inhibitors or antimetabolites. Their uptake into cells depends upon specific transporters; therefore it is essential to establish whether various ...
