Functional and Computational Genomics Reveal Unprecedented Flexibility in Stage-Specific Toxoplasma Metabolism

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Anush Chiappino-Pepe, Matteo Lunghi, Damien Lionel Nicolas, Aarti Krishnan, Dominique Soldati-Favre

To survive and proliferate in diverse host environments with varying nutrient availability, the obligate intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii reprograms its metabolism. We have generated and curated a genome-scale metabolic model (iTgo) for the fast-re ...

Structures of three MORN repeat proteins and a re-evaluation of the proposed lipid-binding properties of MORN repeats

Charlotte Julie Caroline Gehin

MORN (Membrane Occupation and Recognition Nexus) repeat proteins have a wide taxonomic distribution, being found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Despite this ubiquity, they remain poorly characterised at both a structural and a functional level compare ...

Metabolic Needs and Capabilities of Toxoplasma gondii through Combined Computational and Experimental Analysis

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Stepan Tymoshenko, Rebecca Oppenheim, Jens Nielsen, Dominique Soldati-Favre

Toxoplasma gondii is a human pathogen prevalent worldwide that poses a challenging and unmet need for novel treatment of toxoplasmosis. Using a semi-automated reconstruction algorithm, we reconstructed a genome-scale metabolic model, ToxoNet1. The reconstr ...

Reconstruction and systems analysis of metabolism in apicomplexan parasites Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium falciparum

Stepan Tymoshenko

Understanding of metabolism in disease-causing microorganisms promotes drug design through the identification of the enzymes whose activity is indispensable for important cellular functions of the pathogens. Nowadays such understanding arises from experime ...
