An expanded proteomic survey of the human parasite Leishmania major focusing on changes in null mutants of the Golgi GDP-Mannose/Fucose/Arabinopyranose transporter LPG2 or the mitochondrial fucosyltransferase FUT1

G. Polanco, N. E. Scott, L. F. Lye, S. M. Beverley

This paper uses ultradeep proteomics to analyze Leishmania major mutants, revealing significant proteomic changes in LPG2 and FUT1 mutants and highlighting potential therapeutic targets.

A broadly active fucosyltransferase LmjFUT1 whose mitochondrial localization and catalytic activity is essential in the parasitic protozoan Leishmania

H. Guo, S. Damerow, L. Penha, S. Menzies, G. Polanco, H. Zegzouti, M. A. J. Ferguson, S. M. Beverley

This paper identifies FUT1 as an essential fucosyltransferase in Leishmania, localized to mitochondria, with enzymatic activity required for viability and mitochondrial function.
