Barrett, Oliver Billker, Malcolm J. McConville, Dominique Soldati-Favre<p>(A) Schematic representation of the metabolism in <i>T. gondii</i> WT (left panel) and Tg<i>e1a_ko</i> (right panel) incorporating data from this study. (B) Scheme of the metabolism in <i>P. berghei</i> WT (left panel) and Pb<i>e1a_ko</i> (right panel). For both (A) and (B), the remodelling of the parasites metabolism upon ablation of BCKDH activity is highlighted in green. Dotted lines represent drops and disruption in the corresponding reactions. Abbreviations: AcCoA, acetyl-CoA; α-KG, α-ketoglutarate; Cit, citrate; Glc, glucose; Glu, glutamate; Gln, glutamine; Lac, lactate; Mal, malate; OAA, oxaloacetic acid; PEP, phosphoenolpyruvate; Pyr, pyruvate; Suc, succinate. Enzymes in red: BCKDH, branched chain keto acid dehydrogenase; ACL, ATP-citrate lyase; ACS, Acetyl-CoA synthetase; CS-II, second isoform of citrate synthetase.</p>
