Sphingolipids protect ergosterol in the Leishmania major membrane from sterol-binding toxins

C. Haram, S. Moitra, R. Keane, F. M. Kuhlmann, C. Frankfater, F.-f. Hsu, S. M. Beverley, K. Zhang, P. A. Keyel

This study investigates how sphingolipids in Leishmania major protect ergosterol from sterol-binding toxins, showing that ceramide reduces toxin cytotoxicity and enhances amphotericin B efficacy.

De novo synthesis of phosphatidylcholine is essential for the promastigote but not amastigote stage in Leishmania major

S. Moitra, S. Basu, M. Pawlowic, F.-f. Hsu, K. Zhang

This study shows that de novo phosphatidylcholine synthesis via CEPT is essential for promastigote survival but not required for amastigote virulence or replication.
