Phosphatidylinositol synthesis, its selective salvage, and inter-regulation of anionic phospholipids in Toxoplasma gondii
Ren et al. investigated how the obligate intracellular pathogen Toxoplasma gondii satisfies its requirement of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns). They show that this parasite can synthesize certain PtdIns species de novo and salvages others from human host cells. Endogenous production of PtdIns in the G...
