Fatty acid biosynthesis as a drug target in apicomplexan parasites.
Apicomplexan parasitic diseases impose devastating impacts on much of the world's population. The increasing prevalence of drug resistant parasites and the growing number of immuno-compromised individuals are exacerbating the problem to the point that the need for novel, inexpensive drugs is greater now than ever. Discovery of a prokaryotic, Type II fatty acid synthesis (FAS) pathway associated...
متن کاملKinetoplast DNA: A Promising Drug Target for Treatment of Leishmaniasis
Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne zoonotic disease caused by various species of the genus Leishmania, (trypanosomatidae family) that is transmitted by phlebotomine sandflies. The disease can present in a range of clinical forms, including dermal lesions, metastasis mucocutaneous forms, and fatal visceral forms. In this non-systematic review, we aimed at introducing the role of kinetoplast DNA (kD...

متن کامل4'-phosphopantetheine and coenzyme A biosynthesis in plants.
Coenzyme A is required for many synthetic and degradative reactions in intermediary metabolism and is the principal acyl carrier in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Coenzyme A is synthesized in five steps from pantothenate, and recently the CoaA biosynthetic genes in bacteria and human have all been identified and characterized. Coenzyme A biosynthesis in plants is not fully understood, and to...
متن کاملChloroplast Autonomy in Acetyl-Coenzyme-A-Formation and Terpenoid Biosynthesis
Biosynthesis, /?-Carotene, Chloroplast, Plastoquinone-9, Terpenoids Isolated intact spinach chloroplasts were supplied with 14C-labeled C 0 2, phosphoglycerate, phosphoenolpyruvate, acetate and mevalonate and the incorporation of radioactivity into /?-carotene and plastoquinone-9 assayed. All applied substrates were capable of crossing the chloroplast envelope. Except phosphoenolpyruvate all ra...
