Figure 1
Opposite mechanisms in the glucose regulation in the LPGs from procyclic and metacyclic L. chagasi (syn. L. infantum) and L. braziliensis [9, 10]. The structure of the glycan core is Gal(1,6)Gal(1,3)(1,3)[Glc(1-PO4)-6]-Man(1,3)Man(1,4)GlcN(1,6) linked to 1-O-alkyl-2-lyso-phosphatidylinositol anchor. The repeat units are 6-Gal(1,4)Man(1)-PO4.
