Hexosamine biosynthesis disruption impairs GPI production and arrests Plasmodium falciparum growth at schizont stages
{{output}}
UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) is a crucial sugar nucleotide for glycan synthesis in eukaryotes. In the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, UDP-GlcNAc is synthesized via the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) and is essential for glycosylphosphati... ...
