Genetic and chemical evaluation of Trypanosoma brucei oleate desaturase as a candidate drug target.

PloS one | 2010

Trypanosomes can synthesize polyunsaturated fatty acids. Previously, we have shown that they possess stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) and oleate desaturase (OD) to convert stearate (C18) into oleate (C18:1) and linoleate (C18:2), respectively. Here we examine if OD is essential to these parasites.

GeneDB (tool)

RRID:SCR_002774

Database of genomes at various stages of completion, from early access to partial genomes with automatic annotation through to complete genomes with extensive manual curation. Its primary goals are: 1) to provide reliable access to the latest sequence data and annotation/curation for the whole range of organisms sequenced by the Pathogen group, and 2) to develop the website and other tools to aid the community in accessing and obtaining the maximum value from these data.
