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

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
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),
