The Sphingolipid Biosynthetic Pathway Is a Potential Target for Chemotherapy against Chagas Disease

Figure 2

Lipid remodeling pathways in mammals, yeast and T. cruzi. “R” represents the entire glycan structure of each GPI anchor precursor linked to a protein. Although this assumption has been validated in mammals (top panel) and yeast (middle panel), no such experimental data are available for T. cruzi (bottom panel). Each step (in parentheses) has corresponding entries in Table 1.
