Toxoplasma acyl-CoA synthetase TgACS3 is crucial to channel host fatty acids in lipid droplets and for parasite propagation
Apicomplexa comprise important pathogenic parasitic protists that heavily depend on lipid acquisition to survive within their human host cells. Lipid synthesis relies on the incorporation of an essential combination of fatty acids (FAs) either generated by a metabolically adaptable de novo synthesis...
