Characterisation of Geranylgeranyl Diphosphate Synthase from the Sandfly Lutzomyia Longipalpis

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2023
Leishmaniasis is a debilitating and often fatal neglected tropical disease. Males from sub-populations of the Leishmania-harbouring sandfly, Lutzomyia longipalpis, produce the diterpene sex and aggregation pheromone, sobralene, for which geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) is the likely isoprenoid precursor.
