Trypanosoma brucei Serine Palmitoyltransferase: Roles In De Novo Sphingolipid Biosynthesis, Life Cycle, and Lipid Raft Formation

Description:

The kinetoplastid protozoan <em>Trypanosoma brucei</em> is the causative agent of African trypanosomiasis, affecting humans, and Nagana disease, affecting cattle, prevalent in regions of sub-Saharan Africa. Our lab demonstrated that the flagellum of <em>T. brucei</em> is enriched in lipid rafts, membrane areas composed of sphingolipids, sterols, and proteins that serve as...
