Defining the minimal enzymatic requirements for fatty acid scavenging from lysophosphatidylcholine by erythrocytic Plasmodium falciparum

This study identifies PARE as a third enzyme required for Plasmodium falciparum to scavenge fatty acids from lysophosphatidylcholine, showing that its loss combined with XL2/XLH4 deficiency impairs parasite survival.
