Importance of polyphosphate in the Leishmania life cycle

Importance of polyphosphate in the Leishmania life cycle

Protozoan parasites contain negatively charged polymers of a few up to several hundreds of phosphate residues. In other organisms, these polyphosphate (polyP) chains serve as an energy source and phosphate reservoir, and have been implicated in adaptation to stress and virulence of pathogenic organi...
